Stone age calendar - Summer Solstice sunrise - 6-21-2026

I have been aligning some stones during the past six months to make a calendar. This has turned out to be is a stone age learning experience.

Who knew that the winter solstice sunset would point backwards to the summer solstice sunrise?

Who knew that the stones act as a gun sight? One has to be outside the circle to line up the sun to?

Who knew that if the horizon was hidden one can still align the stones accurately?

Who knew that accuracy of placement of the stones has a fair amount of leeway due to the slow movement of the sun along the horizon around the solstice date?

And lastly In order to comply to "Spinal Tap" the movie dwarfs are required. This micro version of Stonehenge does not comply.
