Anyway, I was at Ballynahow Beg late evening on Friday and while getting my act together noticed this: http://www.themodernantiquaria[...]475/images/ballynahow_beg.html Has there been any serious attempt to identify rock art locations as observation points or is this likely to be a random fluke? I always check any new finds for possible astro alignments and there are examples of RA that coincide with the topography to provide a possible marker for an important lunar/solar event .There are also the more common monuments that are accepted as being aligned on astro events which also have RA If you do find a possible line it is very difficult to prove intentionality and thus making it an alignment but you may well have one there , to check it's potential you would have to know accurate grid refs for the stone and the notch and also their heights above sea level .
