Stonehenge

 
"Thom deduced that the Major Standstill southerly midsummer moonrise would Occur behind Figsbury Ring, an Iron Age hilifort six and a half miles (10.5 km) southeast of Stonehenge, and would set behind Chain Hill to the southwest. Aubrey Burl comments:     Thom suggested that at these places foresights had been constructed so that people might record and analyse the moon’s movements from Stonehenge, but in this he was probably     mistaken. What matters is that if Stonehenge observers had aligned posts on these positions and then marked the midway point between them they would have produced a line less than 10 from True South, a line, moreover, looking towards Rox Hill, once Rocks Hill, two and a quarter miles (3.6 km) away and a convenient landmark for ‘catching’ the moon on its path across the night sky."  -Devereux
