Gorteanish Stone Circle: Luni-solar rises

East centred view with luni-solar trajectories c.1200BCE from Gorteanish Multiple Stone Circle, Cork, Ireland. Winter cross-quarters are at a basal step and so is the equinox. The mid­point between them is on a ridge in the centre of a dip. The mid­point between equinox and summer cross-quarters is at or close to the intersect of near and distant.
