And good news, it's not behind a paywall.
The peer reviewer had recommended it be a research note not a research article and I hadn't understood the difference (I still don't), but the most obvious to me is that it is open access.

The OU subscribes to the Journal of Skyscape Archaeology but the latest volume hasn't propagated to the library system yet, it was only published last night.
I've listed it on ResearchGate and tried out their spotlight feature. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, but like Andy Dwyer I know I'm doing it really, really well. I figured I'd precis the abstract and use the 5 most important keywords. We'll see what happens - it runs for 30 days. Academia.edu can wait. And LinkedIn will be done when I bother to unhibernate my account.
The abstract, in case you're wondering, is this:
Medieval churches in England have a wide variety of orientations. Some have an equinoctial orientation, facing true east towards the sunrise on the equinox. However, most, although facing eastwards, diverge from true east, and over the centuries the reason for such variation has been the subject of much debate. A popular, but by no means proven, theory is that they are oriented towards the rising Sun on the feast day of their particular patron saint. This paper considers St Guthlac’s, Passenham, a Northamptonshire church close to the ancient Danelaw border with alleged connections to King Edward the Elder and the West Saxon army in the tenth century AD. The church orientation shows good agreement with the rising Sun on the feast day of St Guthlac, a popular Mercian warrior saint of the period, who was celebrated as a symbol of the Anglo-Saxons’ potential for victory over the pagan Vikings.
