Default druids' knowledge of astronomy?

"David Dalton" wrote in message
...

What is known of the ancient druids' knowledge of
astronomy? And that of the peoples that preceded
them in the British Isles, e.g. those responsible
for Stonehenge and other stone circles?
================================================== ======
Stonehenge was constructed 2000 years before the druids ran for the hills
from the advancing Roman army that invaded Britain in 43 AD.
Some modern hippies that dress up in robes and fancy themselves as druids
didn't build stone circles either.



And do modern druid organizations require their
members to have some degree of astronomical knowledge?
================================================== ===
About as much as Facebook and Twitter organisations do of
software engineering.
