Blurb:

Frank Prendergast considers the character of the stone circle in light of its morphology, landscape setting, ritual function and the broader role of the sky in the past. His approach takes the skyscape into account but concluded that, contrary to popular belief, there is little evidence to support a significant celestial alignment embedded in the design of this unique monument. However, he adds that one could not conclude that the people who built and used this stone circle did not find meaning or attribute a role to the sky.
