We walked up to the ringwork through fields of knee-high rye grass. Then, arms stretched out, palms facing downwards, she walked round the ramparts with a look of intense concentration on her face . . . she was doing her thing.

'There's a lot of energy here,' she said. 'Really, a lot of power. The vibes are absolutely rolling off this hill.'
She stopped walking and closed her eyes for a while.
'There's really three circles here, not just one,' she said, hopping off the rampart and walking towards the stones in the middle of the ringwork.
'I feel three circles overlapping - there's a bit in the center that's common to all three.'

I couldn't quite visualise this, so she took out a pen and drew me a diagram. 'Something like that,' she said. 'The people who used these circles lived a long time apart.'
'How long?' I enquired.
'Oh, a long time.'
'Hundreds or thousands of years?' I asked.
'I don't know,' said Marsha. 'But a long, long time.'

We walked round to the flagpole area and looked out at the view.
Glasgow and its surrounding hills lay spread out before us. Did she feel 'aware' of some of the hills and less aware than others? To ask her this would be a form of suggestion which could induce a response and cast a shadow of bias over the test. Better, I thought, for her to tell me than for me to ask. But she never mentioned it, and neither did I.

At the time of the test Camphill ringwork (NS 577 621) was firmly classified in archaeology as a medieval site. Several Prehistoric Site Alignments crossed there so I thought otherwise. It was a fair test as the American psychic who did it knew nothing about this.
The latest archaeological survey, by the Association of Certificated Field Archaeologists (Glasgow University) in 1996, now describes Camphill as 'an earthwork of uncertain date and purpose, perhaps from the late prehistoric period, with some evidence of re-use in the medieval period....'
One professional archaeologist who visited the site suggested that the earliest construction date could be somewhere in the region of the 2nd millenium BC.
