Description The sunrise shadow from the Cove at Avebury on 08.01.03 going to Stone 44 - that is the stone adjacent to the Swindon Stone, which is a vast standing diamond shape and should have received the First Gleam on the winter solstice at the time of construction. Due to various obstructions on the site, including a hedge, it was difficult to see the shadow reaching the target stone, some 20 minutes after first gleam.
