Abstract |
Several recent investigations suggest that monuments such as temples, tombs or stone rows were orientated towards distinctive points on the horizon such as the directions of sunrise or sunset at the solstices or equinoxes, or the rising or setting Moon at the lunistices. This paper investigates whether three accessible megalithic monuments in western Switzerland with stone rows consisting of ten or more stones show common features in orientation.
