This is the description from the Beckensall Archive. They have an incorrect placename, for the stone, and the setting is described as a fieldwall, yet there is absolutely no evidence for a field division there in the Tithe Commution map of 1838. In fact that section of the 'fieldwall' lines with a hilltop cairn (marked on the map as a currick) and the southern extreme moonrise. Which is very unusual for a fieldwall!


I think the ERA view is probably more considered .

Have you got the data for the azi , alt and dec ?

Do you think there might be some intentionality about the the possible "alignment " ?

Field walls can point in all directions some are bound to point to all the Thom paradigm events and anything else you care to include , it doesn't mean that was the intention of the builders .
