In "Stonehenge im Säuliamt, Internet_Version_v_1_2, page 13, there is a great plan of the circle and the alignments. I refer to it when writing "stones 41, 42 or 45" on my photo.
I came home with a big sadness after a visit there. So it could well be that this was a necropole in ancient times. Pls see page 14. Wonderful, quiet site.
