But it does look as if the sun is setting almost exactly halfway between the two stones. Might that be important? Could there have been another stone at the site, between these two (maybe set away from them in a triangular layout), that aligned directly with the Midsummer Sunset? (Just realised this is taken 2-3 weeks after true midsummer.)
