Caption: A crude map of Stonehenge.

Features:

1. The map is representative NOT exact, is not-to-scale. and has dates are out of date---but it still serves the function of giving a rough idea of the layout which better maps do NOT seem to do so well.

   See Wikipedia: Stonehenge for better information.

2. Stonehenge exhibits alignment astronomy---it is a monument of archaeoastronomy among other things (see Wikipedia: Archaeoastronomy and Stonehenge).

3. The most definite alignment astronomy embodied in Stonehenge is embodied by the Heelstone.

4. On the map, you see the Heelstone off to the northeast (NE) by the side of the ancient Stonehenge Avenue---NOT in the middle as the map shows. At the summer solstice, the Sun rises approximately over the Heelstone as seen from the Altar Stone. This is the farthest northward rising direction that the Sun reaches before its rising direction heads south again. The Sun, of course, on the summer solstice is at its maximum declination of 23.4°.

5. The alignment with the sunrise on the summer solstice is also, mutatis mutandis, that of the sunset on the winter solstice. Mike Parker Pearson (1957--) (during a public lecture: Stonehenge Archeology Lecture, 2016 April 19, Mike Parker Pearson) suggested the winter solstice alignment may have been more important than the summer solstice alignment to the Stonehengers (AKA Neolithic Britons).

6. Note the word "approximately" in the description of the Sun's rising direction on summer solstice. The alignment of the rising direction may be more exactly with the Stonehenge Avenue. There may once have been a companion to the Heelstone on the other side of the Stonehenge Avenue from the Heelstone. The two standing stones would then have frame the rising direction.
