I live within sight of this monument!

Note also St Michael - he was the one who fought the dragon that
encircled the earth.
Amongst other things, in more recent time he became the patron saint of
paratroopers, a symbolic association with past events. I still have a St
Michael medallion which I got, as a British paratrooper, when I worked
with a Belgian Para-Commando unit in the 1960's.
I don't know if you are aware of the concept of Ley Lines in ancient
landscapes, but it is a fascinating subject and there is more
information here, specifically relating to to what is called a "Dragon
Line" associated with St Michael.

There's a lot of myth and hype about these things, but there is an
unexplained power that runs across not just our English landscape, but
throughout the ancient world.
