Not that there is any indication at the stone for a solstice alignment , but even if there were , it's a fine illustration of where solstices tend to occuron the horizon when seen from monumnets i.e. not at the peaks or troughs but at a pretty nondescript part of the hillside .

but at a pretty nondescript part of the hillside.....

Always assuming there wasn't a post or a very small surface marker boulder back then. If there was it would be an immensely impressive spectacle. Who to say there weren't such things at loads of sites?

Would it be vandalistic to add such things at various sites now, in a bid for immortality? What would one be called? Vandal? Artist? Megaprankster?
