The lunar alignments will be certain.
The only one that is easily found is to Deneb, with a prehistoric rising declination of +36.
Such certainty , if based on evidence from the majority of other similar monuments might be understandable if optimistic , but considering that there is no reliable study that has shown any relation between Portal Tombs and the Thom paradigm alignments it's at the very least ,and trying to maintain a level of politeness , illogical .
There are a the huge amount of possible variables involving the arrangement of the stones and it is it's likely you could manage to find the required declinations among them , just as you could in your living room but that does not mean it is meaningful or intentional .
BTW declination of Deneb will be the same for it's rise and set ,it changes very slowly .

The assumption that this is a 'Portal Tomb' is equally illogical, being based on pure speculation, just because of slight similarities to other structures!

Love it love it. You are so right to say that. There has never been a link between 'portal tombs' and the Thom paradigm; but there is now. The evidence from Trethevy is so compelling that it is only now after 12 years I am daring to share this. The link comes directly from Thom who I suppose is the founding father in modern times at least, but every science needs its Copernicus and to my mind for archeoastronomy Professor John North was that man. He established the optical dynamics of ancient observational techniques and I have taken it from there.
