Description As the sun rises on the Solstice it moves to the right and after a few minutes it can be seen from the left hand side of Stone 56, past Bluestone 68, over the round bun altar (Stone 160b), past the edge of Stone 49, and the edge of Stone 30. At this stage the sun will be seen at the Full Orb - that is when the bottom of the sun appears to be just clear of the earth. At the time of construction it would have been slightly higher.
