Holne Moor Stone Row. 

Triple Stone Row SX 6743 7106 150 m long. Most of the stones hardly show above the peat. There is a fallen 3.4m longstone at the Western end. The row 
azimuth is 112. 

Viewed from the lower Eastern end the fallen longstone & companions would have been prominent cutting the western skyline. Declination for western skyline is 15.57. Star spica 3200 BC or May Day sunset?
