Nice game, and this is just the level of complexity I enjoy :)

Ale's stenar (stones) are beautifully situated by the very south of the Swedish coast. I can recommend it to every Swedish-minded tourist. Nice game, tickman!

Ps, There's a nice beach below these white cliffs of Kåseberga, with hardly no people visiting. (All swimmers are in Ystad, two miles to the west).

I must note that the astronomical significance of some of these is more established than that of others. Of course we can't ask the builders: they're all dead.
