Re: Megalithic mapping

In Celtic folklore 'fairy paths', ancient trackways and the like are associated with white flowers, possibly hawthorn blossom though often unspecified. It may be that 'lis' is referring to the lightness rather than type of flower. Lissewege is described as a 'white village'.
[There's also the French lycée, allegedly meaning a gymnasium or athletic training ground; appropriately enough the French Lycée in London is on the A4 also an east-west route crossing the width of the country]
Lissewege village is clearly a backwater, despite having a church that's far too large for its size, also a Megalithic trait. It also has a "unique collection of 124 antique statues of patron saints", indeed the museum of saints is itself apparently unique.
The Abbey of Ter Doest had a bishop called Thorfinn who was subsequently canonised. St Thorfinn was supposed to be from Hamar though little else is known of this saint so the name may be a play on 'Thor's Hammer'.
