Some believe that Stone Age sun-worshippers gathered at this pagan sanctuary (sim-
ilar to the churches, synagogues, and mosques of today) in search of harmony between
the “micro” environment on earth and the “macro” environment of the entire cosmos. The
stones functioned as a celestial calendar, with the far ends of the ellipse lining up with the
rising and setting sun on each solstice. A posted description (in English) at the site tells
more. Stop and comfort a peeled cork tree, or pet the sheep that are often grazing nearby.
