I believe there are a few assumptions you have made Royston , the cairn was not covered , that the monument is a "device " and that any findings you may have indicate intentionality on behalf of the builders .That does not mean the results are not interesting .
The azimuths of the each side of the capstone and the angle of elevation would be great if you could furnish me with these . Or even the general orienation of the capstone .Thanks in advance .
There seemed to be some disagreeement about whether plans existed ,one certainly does possibly by Borlase but I'm not sure .

Well, George
The structures is not symmetrical, so any reliable fiducial is difficult to find. However we have to start somewhere. In PLAN view the capstone is 'oriented' 130 degrees of north.

Thanks , I'm assuming east of north as that is closesst o the plan I had with a difference of 16 degrees (par for the course ) and that's what it looks like on GE .Odd that Lockyer didn't mention it in SAOBMAC and yet got tortuously stellar among the Hurlers .
