Aries is a small constellation, a four star cluster. Do they look like a ram? Ptolemy (2nd century) thought so! Today, it is the first day of the Zodiac sign "Aries" (The Ram), between Pisces and Taurus in the night sky. Can we see a ram or rams in Cornwall? There are several places with "ram" in their names. Here's "Benhurden". I can't see a ram or a fort, but it looks important!
