View location
Showing alignment point on distant hill. The notice says:
'The Altar (as it is locally known) consists of three large flagstones standing high up on the horizon in front of you. The Altar marks the most southerly rising point of the moon when viewed from here at the stone circle. This phenomenon occurs once every 18.6 years and is known as the "Major Standstill of the Moon".
The angle at which the moon rises at this time coincides exactly with the angle of the mountain, making the moon appear to "climb" the mountain as it ascends.' |
