Some new measurements on Stonehenge

Nature volume 275, pages 50–52 (1978)Cite this article

Abstract

THE possible astronomical significance of Stonehenge has made it desirable to make new measurements of some of its features, and I report here the results of a survey made in April 1978. New values are given for the axis of symmetry of the Avenue, the figure of the four Stations, the original position of the peak of the Heel Stone and the axis of symmetry of the sarsen trilithons (Fig. 1).
