Do either of the arcs align with the sunrises progression? - worth checking out as soon as I have time.


Worth mentioning that there was no evidence other stones . If the northing on the plan is true north , (not guaranteed ) then from the centre of the monument , one arc occupies 20 -100 degrees and the other 185 -300 degrees . The report does suggest “It is equally
possible that the two arcs were positioned in relation to the rising and setting of the sun. “ .But is clear that they hadn’t actually considered the data . Neither arc fits the extreme setting or rising points for the latitiude and horizon , being out by approx 27 , 30 , 45 and 12 degrees in each case with the 20 degree point being 27 north of where the sun is never even seen . Similarly the lunar standstills don’t fit ,again , the 20 is still 17 degrees too far north , a point from the where the moon is never seen .
