Description At Stonehenge the evening sunset on FORS was the most important of the year, and is the one major solar event which can be seen by all entering the site as a public visitor.

If you are lucky with the evening murk and low cloud, from the Heel Stone you will see the full sun over the Slaughter Stone, past Stone 56 (the Great Trilithon) just touching mound 15 by Normanton Furze, at the same time as the light shines onto the Heel Stone as pictured here in this photo taken on 05.12.2001.
See The Great Stone Circles - How they Work, for further information.
