Way into the realms of original research there. Unless you have that in a reliable source, it can't be included. Catfish Jim and the soapdish 15:20, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Is it me or does it look like a death and renewal symbol? The two circular objects are most likely representing the sun while the top part of the z rod on several looks like a grown plant with many branches ready for harvesting. The horizontal middle part is probably delineating the group (separating the land of the living from the underworld) and the bottom of the z rod looks either like a less flourishing plant or maybe supposed to be a seed sprouting up from the underworld. At least one of the representations even has a dog on the bottom part, which often represented the underworld (think Garmr, Cerberus, fairy hounds, etc).

It would be interesting if the angle of the z rod's arms inscripted on the standing stones correlates with the sun or shadow cast by it on any important days of the year (first day of spring, first day of autumn, etc).

Probably madness, but I figured I would throw it out there while I thought of it.
