South is on the left-side of the local hilltop where it coincides with sunsets a half-month either side of Winter Solstice,
also with Lunistice sets at a sixteenth on the minor side of the midpoint.
North is unsurveyed due to forestry but would seem to be in a dip of the distant horizon, according to computerised calculations.
