Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
Chun Quoit submitted by sem on 16th Jun 2005. The capstone and the horizon.
There is a theory that dolmens (or quoits as they are known in Cornwall) were not totally covered in earth but the capstones were left uncovered and were a copy of the horizon. I have manipulated the tones in this shot to show this, but no shapes have been altered.

Log Text: Archaeoastronomy Investigation: Major Lunar Standstill moonset along azimuth 320° from St Lythans to Tinkinswood. Basic sightline established, but it would be better on a less misty day using flags on a pole, or in the evening with lights. Then as the setting moon reaches maximum northern declinations (approx. 28.7) around the years 2024 & 2025, capture photo of moonset from St Lythans along the azimuth. (see link below)
