That fact alone that it really is like nothing else seems to indicate to some people that it is not important but the selection of stones and its position in the landscape tells me a different story. When you stand on the north bank and realise what's around you stone circle wise to the north, east and south, with the stone littered hill to the west at Candra with cut stones lying around, you get a feeling of the importance of what you're stood on. But then 'feelings' aren't proof of anything of course as has been pointed out before but nevertheless we still get them.
