2) Holes are 3.5' deep, and are 6" larger than the stone/stlab combination all the way around the stone/slab.
3) Stone base and slab dimensions give first the dimension around the Sunwheel perimeter, and second the dimension along the line of sight to the center.
4) Total weight of the stones + slabs = 112,400 lbs.
5) Numbers revised 11/21/00.
