Doolin Stepped Barrow: 360° N centred

North centred panoramic view with luni-solar trajectories c.1200BCE from Doolin Stepped Barrow, Clare, Ireland. North is on a slope of nearer ground and framed by more distant hills. South is at a step/break in a hilltop. Eastwards, the Luni-Solar zone runs through a dip to the basal step of a prominent hill. Westwards, the South Lunistice zone spans a cliff edge with the Winter Solstice at the land / sea intersect. Summer cross-quarters are on the Arran Islands and the North Lunistice zone starts at the following sea / land intersect. Summer Solstice is at the start of the mainland and things run upslope from there, striving for the high ground.
