Very clearly indeed. Were you to witness the event in person I don't think you'd be left in much doubt. The stone sits almost at the lowest point in a dramatic bowl shaped pass. Instead of being at this lowest point, its around 25 metres away and slightly upslope. By situating the stone there, Carrigeruppera gains archeaological significance. On the balance of probability, its most unlikely to be coincidental. There are plenty of other alignments that utilise natural features, such as distant hills and notches on the horizon. It would be wrong to dismiss an alignment just because a prominent natural feature was used. I think the fact that it aligns on 2 significant times of the year makes it even more unlikely to be coincidental.
