mega-what / prehistoric horizon calendars / Ireland, West Cork, Beara, Ardgroom

Barrees Stone Pair: 360° S centred

South centred panoramic view with luni-solar trajectories c.1000BCE from Barrees Stone Pair, West Cork, Ireland. South coincides with lunistice sets at a sixteenth on the major side of the mid­point. South-east minor standstill moonrise is at the bottom of the saddle and the set is at a step. North-east major standstill moonrise is at the intersect of local and distant horizons. North is on a distant mountain in the middle of the lowest part of the horizon. The north-west offers a very useful sector of distant horizon and the local landscape has been fitted to it.
