Alton Arts Presents

Sighting the Sun - and Moon - at the Stonehenge 

World Heritage Site

A talk by Dr Amanda Chadburn FSA FSAScot


Most people know about the summer solstice celebrations at Stonehenge, far fewer know about the many astronomical alignments at the Stonehenge World Heritage Site. In fact, archaeoastronomy -the study of how ancient peoples understood phenomena in the sky and what role the sky played in their cultures - is not well understood and this has led to numerous theories and common misconceptions about Stonehenge, particularly concerning its relationship to the sky and the heavenly bodies.This talk will explore how ancient people designed their monuments to sight the sun - and perhaps the moon - in and around the Stonehenge World Heritage Site.
