Northern lunistice rises span a dip, southern ones are precisely cut off by the high horizon.
Summer solstice sunrise is in a dip with summer cross-quarters on the hilltop above it and cross-quarter / equinox midpoint on another.
The equinox is in a local intersect dip which makes it critical for this location choice. Winter cross-quarters are brackets by their quarter-months.
