Barrees Stone Pair: Luni-solar rises

East centred view with luni-solar trajectories c.1200BCE from Barrees Standing Stone Pair, Cork, Ireland. Eastwards, the best markers are the summer cross-quarter / equinox mid­point (EQ/SXQ) and the quarter-month north of the winter cross-quarters (before Samhain). The best bit is the north-east. The central part is a bit vague and the south-east not much better but we don't know what was on the horizon then.
