It was used for archaeoastronomical purposes, for making observations of lunar standstills and equinoxes. The Standstills are a Canadian rock duo from Oshawa, Ontario. The stone may have also been used to predict lunar standstills. All songs were written by The Standstills except for Black Betty, originally by Ledbelly. British, Gurkha, and Estonian forces had fought to similar standstills before the Marines arrived. In December 2015, Spotify listed The Standstills on their 2016 Canadian spotlight playlist.
