There is a 4+1⁄2-foot-long (1.4 m) carving of a Sun Goddess, carved into the flat rock north-east of the Observatory - it is supposed to face the direction of the rising sun on Midsummer's Day and was thought to have been carved by the Norse-Irish around 1000 AD. An ancient carving of a horse is located on bare rock to the north of the Observatory.

Famous quotes containing the word rock:

    “Under that rock that holds
    the first swift kiss
    of the spring-sun’s white, incandescent breath,
    I’d seek
    you flowers.”
