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)

Newgrange submitted by DrewParsons on 6th Jul 2010. The reconstructed quartz facade is certainly an eye catcher although there is serious debate as to whether the original site looked like this. It is interesting that quartz played such an important symbolic roll at prehistoric sites across Europe through to early Celtic Christian sites where quartz pebbles would be left as offerings. Photographed in October 2002.
