Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Following the discovery of an unusual holed stone on the raised platform round the east side of the Spy Law Beacon, an informal survey of the platform was undertaken and the alignment of the holed stone investigated. This has shown that the holed stone is aligned with the rising and setting of the sun at the solstices. At the summer solstice sunset, the sun shines through the hole producing the dramatic effect of a bright light in the centre of the stone. A coincidental alignment with the sunrise at the equinoxes was also found. The origin of the hole is considered. | ||
