The entrance is due east of the centre of the henge, and frames the rising of the equinoctial sun, which suggests that the monument may reflect the cardinal points, as do the Long Meg and Castlerigg stone circles. The eastward-looking entrance also points to just north of King Arthur's Round Table and the only view obtainable from the interior of the monument is towards the ridge top of Blencathra where the equinoctial sun sets.
