Standing northwest of Stonehenge is the impressive, unshaped block of sarsen stone. At over 35 tons, it stands alone and apart from the main circle, yet possesses its own significance.
The stone's importance lies in its potential connection to astronomical phenomena. Supposedly, the Heel Stone once marked the summer solstice sunrise when viewed from the centre of Stonehenge. This alignment suggests the builders possessed a sophisticated understanding of the cosmos.
