(2013-04-07) | Maybe this "mystic hole" could be a sigthing hole in order to observe the celestial pole area - which of course now has changed since the Bronze Age. If so, a possible dating of the monument also could be acchieved by counting back the precession movement 1 degree for every 71.6 years. | Runemage
(2013-04-07) | There was a forum thread about observation of the sun via the hole and the angle of the cut being deliberate to prevent eye-damage... but I'd not advise anyone to try it! Have a look on our main site page, click the yellow wording, top left by the above image. |
