Yes, excellent photographs. I would suspect the alignment to be a sunrise in the opposite direction, but, looking from the circle outward, perhaps on another day of the year. Then the solar disc would be caught by the two upright stones!
Well, there's a 50/50 chance that you suspect correctly.I was there around the Summer Solstice this year and there's a bloody great mountain in the way. It's just possible that the sun rises out of the bloody great mountain and follows the edge, but it's a long shot. The cloud was too low and there was a lot of mist about last year. I'll be trying again this year.If you look at this picture:

You will see that the axis of the circle could just point to the base of Keedean Mountain or there abouts. I'd love this one to be a good'un.
