Basically for the sun to shine straight into the larger of the two chambers it would need to rise further north-east. From the pics I have up it is roughly at due east. Does anyone think it would be possible to rise that far north?

Yes, possibly; at summer solstice sunrise.

Thanks Baza and Fourwinds, it looks like Summer Solstice so, its the earliest one for getting up for as well, doh!

At the latitude of the monument the furthest north the sun would rise would be just under 47 degrees at the summer solstice .
