stonefree wrote: There are alignments to summer solstice (sunrise and sunset!) and winter solstice sunset (we are unable, as yet, to ascertain any winter solstice sunrise alignment because nearby houses totally obscure this position!) We are also astounded by our most recent discovery of what appear to be the remnants of potential 'figurative' carvings on various surfaces, only visible for short periods of time when the sun hits them obliquely! I won't repeat possible problems mentioned on another forum ,unless anyone wants them . It's not too difficult to calculate orientations blocked by buildings etc , a quick look suggests that somewhere between 128.5 -129 degrees will be fit the bill and the height spot of 164 m just to the west of Furlsdon could be the horizon . Rock art photographers use various methods to achieve oblique lighting to highlight worn or difficult to see markings . Any chance of some pics of the markings ?
