Celtic New Zealand
"New Zealand is covered in remnant structures left behind by a stone working culture. This pre-Maori civilisation built canal systems, thousands of sculptured hills, wetlands agricultural systems composed of laboriously dug drains, beehive house villages, an extensive network of overland walkways, a system of very visible cairn hump or tor mound markers on the crests of low hill ranges. They constructed multiple standing stone circles for astronomy in locations where the distant regional terrain gave clearly defined views onto solstice or equinox sunrises and sunsets or more sophisticated fixes onto star and constellation ascents or descents."
