I am a native in this world And think in it as a native thinks

The Heel Stone




This sarsen stone stands a few hundred feet from the stone circle, outside the earthworks, on what would have been the avenue approaching the monument.

It's placed to align with the sunrise at the midsummer solstice, and the sunset at the winter solstice. You can get tickets to go inside the monument to watch the sunrise and sunset during the hours when the monument isn't open to the public, not just at the solstices.
