Description Diagram of the Swinside Moon Northern Set. As can be seen the lMidsummer Sunset (MSSS - i.e. the position where the sun can be seen setting from the circle) runs from the cut in the top of Stone 16, while the line of the Invisible MSSS (i.e. the one where it eventually sets on the flat horizon), runs from the junction of 16/17, this is no mistake. The edge of Stone 17 has both a half round hole and an inverted notch. As yet I have no firm ideas as to what these are for, but I hope the answer will appear as work continues.
See The Great Stone Circles - How they Work, for further information.
