Gardoms Standing Stone (Standing Stone / Menhir)

Evidence stacks up that Gardom’s Edge monolith is astronomically aligned


Researchers at the Nottingham Trent University have gathered new evidence that a 4000-year-old monolith was aligned to be an astronomical marker. The 2.2 metre high monument, located in the Peak District National Park, has a striking, right-angled triangular shape that slants up towards geographic south. The orientation and inclination of the slope is aligned to the altitude of the Sun at mid-summer.
