In this edition of Caerdroia we are honoured to present important items of research on two old chestnuts which have appeared in the pages of Caerdroia in the past - the New Harmony hedge maze in Indiana, USA, and the Rocky Valley labyrinth carvings in Cornwall, England. Both of these studies provide important answers to the questions that have been raised in the past and will clear up much of the confused information that is frequently given about these locations.
