Sheep just scratch when they're fairly relaxed - unlikely when a stranger is near - unless they're ill.

The rounded hill on the horizon has a profile similar to those found in 'harvest hills'. It doesn't seem uncommon for one of the edges of an upright single stone to be broadly aligned on such a hill - and sometimes the sun will set behind there on a certain day or pair of days ...

'Hag' is an old word for hedge, incidentally ! Still found in the 'Hague'.
