This photo, taken in March 2004, shows a view from the stone immediately opposite it in the circle. I surveyed it at the time, and drew up a plan, and recorded the portal as being NNW from the stone in the foreground, and Carn Galva as being at 325degs. If you move to the next stone on the right of this one, the portal stone aligns 275/280degs with a hill to the west of Carn Galva (maybe Watch Croft?). Therefore, it seems that you would have to stand elsewhere in the circle to view the rocks of Carn Galva through the portals now that the other is re-erected. The alignment in this photo could mark the Summer Solstice sunset on the horizon, - (perhaps it went down between the portals when viewed from here?) - or maybe a specific Moon phase."
