Difficult to be too accurate about the axis of the monument but it looks between 43-53 degrees if it is 47 then fwiw arguably it's aligned on the summer solstice sunrise . 49 looks more like it for me which would mean being about a week later . Hs anyone noticed if the "alignment " has been recorded before ? http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/509/bedd_arthur.html Well I did buy Bluestone Magic by Robin Heath - not sure what you think of him Tiompan ;) - but he says.. "Now made up of 16 stones (there were 18), there size may be diminutive, but the monument's axis packs an interesting punch, locating the position of midsummer sunrise during the Neolithic period - at about 47 east of north, depending on the horizon elevation" Reply | with quote |  9th September 2011ce 17:03 In reply to: Bedd Arthur (tiompan) |
