Observation at Long Meg | Forum — The Modern Antiquarian

I am always amazed by the depth of discussion on these forums, and I am almost embarased to post this

But here goes

I visited Long Meg the day before the solstice

I noticed that when viewed from the smalll square stone, just by the side of the road, Long Meg interacts with the two spherical stones, that form one side of the entrance, to look incredibly phallic

Intentional, or the overactive imagination of a guy spending the solstice away with his girlfriend free of kids & grandkids for a wonderfully peaceful cumbrian break?

I noted another view on the Long Meg pages that mention a similar effect, this one hower was much more effective.

Cheers

Hi, Adrenochrome,

Must say I never noticed that one (too busy trying to avoid the cowpat's and potholes!). She/they are lovely, and a good place to be (if you can navigate the blessing of the crap road signage!). She stands tall in my memory...

Peace

Hi Dave
is the small square stone on the famhouse side of the circle? I dunno if it means owt but if this is the stone then that is very roughly the position from which to view the supposed midwinter sunset alignment.

Don`t worry Adrenochrome, I`ve noticed and photographed this effect before. Prolly a coincidence I would say, but I still like the effect.
