It's also pointing upwards, which rules out the ground and the horizon as points of interest! ;)


And in the direction of Uffington Castle and and BA round Barrow .

It can be seen for miles , tjj saw it from the Swindon train , the Coxwells 4.5 miles away are considered to be good viewpoints .The area from which it can be seen will probably be much greater than that for your average standing stone .
