Uragh Stone Circle: 360° S centred

South centred panoramic view with luni-solar trajectories c.1200BCE from Uragh Stone Circle, Kerry, Ireland. South is on the left slope of a hill. North is at the right end of the highest hilltop. Winter cross-quarters rise from a local top and set into the central dip of a distant one. Minor standstills rise from a minor step and set into another. The south-eastern hill slope is a very precise indicator for lunar mid-cycle and the southern dip is another one for the period centred on the major eighth (eclipse at Samhain / Lughnasadh).
