Response to review of Gough and Harris’ book: A New Dimension to Ancient Measures

In 2021 Peter Harris and Thomas Gough published a book: A New Dimension to Ancient Measures based on theirs and the late Norman Stockdate's hypothesis that a unit of length, the Harris and Stockdale Megalithic Foot, (HSMF), of 1.1785 feet was known and used in prehistoric Britain. You can read a further summary of the book on our page here. Ancient metrology is a controversial subject but not unheard of in modern archaeology. 
However in February 2023 Liz Henty published a book review in the Journal of Skyscape Archaeology rubbishing their work.
