I've played around with home made sundials for years. I think if I wanted to mark midday (or any other time) in a really clear way I'd set up two very narrow, vertical gaps so that a pencil thin line of light would appear at the required time for just 2.5 minutes every day or (if you blocked part of them) at any desired time or day.

If the quoit is not a burial chamber (which appears to me to be the implication by others) then why would people all those years ago want to go to all that effort just to make what amounts to a clock anyway? Surely an exact model of it would have done the same job positioned in the same location with minimum effort, or am I being too simplistic here? Does size really matter?
