Thanks - it could be the remains of a little long cairn, this is true. It would fit into the shape of the land and there are other similarly-sized (as it would have been) mounds in the vicinity. The major alignment may actually have been in the other direction - the horizon height is the same either way - when it would have faced the most-northerly moonrise, and quite close to the summer solstice sunrise point. (This long cairn explanation seems the more persuasive of the two). There is on-site Rock Art but it is from the Crusader period (1250). I could post a picture of the better stone - it clearly had megalithic origins.
