“…Firstly, from our earlier work, we found that at least two major visual effects resulted from, or are coupled with the topographical horizon choices of the dolmen builders, namely that the horizons in the east are shown to be lower in altitude than those in the west, and statistically lower in the east than the random profiles from the same area. 50 These outcomes are also now observable on the individual horizon profiles of the dolmens. The visual effects are: (i) the lower horizons in the east make it possible for the 'rays' of the rising Sun or Moon to enter the tomb and such horizons will ensure that the Sun or the Moon can be seen from inside the dolmen entrance or even the chamber, as we see at Dombate in Costa de Morte and the southern dolmens of discussed above -Alberite, Huerta Montero and Menga 51 , and (ii), with higher horizons in the west, a large dolmen or a future mound 52 would not block the views of the horizon or the astronomical bodies setting upon it, behind the dolmen.…”
