Description This view posted in response to Runemages enquiry about these stones. This is me engaged in a vain attempt to get an aerial photo of Maen Llia's shadow as it entered the stream. The clouds defeated me again, but I can confirm that the shadow enters the stream over the left hand stone on about August 6th, a cross quarter day in the ancient celtic calender.
Maen Llia is in the centre of photo, with a large Hawthorn tree beyond and in line also.
I tried for 3 days to get the photo I wanted, and between no wind, flat batteries and corrupted memory cards, and now clouds, this is the best I've managed.

Very well done for all your efforts cerrig! .. and well done for noticing this feature. Fascinating.

*Thank-you* for trying Cerrig, I'm sure that's a significant event tied in with the name. No-one would think a shadow could move so far.

Cheers both, and thanks to Rune for alerting me to this possibility. I think that the link between these monuments and the Celtic calender is becoming stronger all the time.
