Dave , will send paper which has a plan of the stones and also spreadsheet of the solstice directions from the site .
The problem with the plan, as with most archaeo plans , is the northing , which could be any of the three .
Accepting that it is true north then the extreme edge of one of the stones is close to the orientation for summer solstice sun rise but all the others are way out .
A major problem with line of sight is that the palynology suggets the monuments were in a woodland of Alder Oak and lime with a hazel understorey .
