Description The Shepherd and Two Dogs in Caithness, a ‘stand alone’ observation sites showing an example of a moon shaped stone.

This photo is taken from a man made cutting in the hillside some 60m long, 4-5m deep, probably created to give a Moon second flash sighting at the MMaSMNS.   The standing stone in the distance is a large Z type and made me look for the Northern Moon Setting sector from the stone.    This sort of landscape shaping is nothing uncommon.

See The Great Stone Circles - How they Work, for further information.
