Correction, make that 1455 BC when Venus preceded the rising sun at the summer and winter solstices.

603 BCE Thanks Al! If you were correctly positionned, the Previous solstice alignment was about 603 BCE (on june 21), the difference in days from this photo to 603 BCE has something to do with the tilt of the Earth's axis. Please check this computation. But it seems that this Heel stone was an addition to the circle, and the other 2 (missing ones) were for other solstice dates, would be good to know if they were to the right or left of the lone survivor.
