A: Hengiform monument
With twenty assistants and three months you can make an oval earthwork between five and twenty meters in diameter. The earthwork can be built to have two of the following effects:

a site...
- for accurately predicting astrological events like meteor showers, solar eclipses, or blood moons
- for accurately telling how many days until the next solstice or equinox
- for rest, reflection, and clear mindedness
- that is a simple fortification

You can sketch a perfect oval.

B: Henge
With twenty assistants and six months you can make an oval earthwork between twenty and 300 meters in diameter. It can have two of the following effects:

a site...
- to safely bury the dead
- to cleanse minor illness or disease
- to receive limited visions of the near future
- to ask simple questions of the recently deceased

C: Henge Enclosure
With forty assistants and a year you can make an oval earthwork of over 300 meters in size. When nine people join hands in the very center they can send a simple telepathic message to an individual or small group up to 100 miles away once per day.

Multiple such earthworks can form a communication network. 
 

D: Trilithon
With the help of ninety-nine other people you can shift stones up to twenty-five tons. A site can be constructed with such stones in three years. Such sites can have one of the following effects

a site...
- to permanently bury a powerful evil
- to cleanse and contain disease in a region
- of sanctuary where only the pure hearted can tread
- where true visions of the future can be seen once per year
