Description The midsummer sunset at the Kirksanton stones on the 9th July 2004 as seen in when the sun was seen to go down besides a small hillock known as Salt Hill, but no face of either stone lined to it.

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

But it does look as if the sun is setting almost exactly halfway between the two stones. Might that be important? Could there have been another stone at the site, between these two (maybe set away from them in a triangular layout), that aligned directly with the Midsummer Sunset? (Just realised this is taken 2-3 weeks after true midsummer.)
