<Athgreany is one of the places I was thinking about going to on Sunday to check out 'the big lunar thingy'. It should be very close to being diametrically opposite the sunset on Sunday night I think.

Interesting that it's rising over Church Mountain around now. I would have thought it would have been further east. I always lose my bearings at Athgreany!>

May be there Sunday meself Tom, marmite and insect repellent in hand. :-)

I know of the moon skim at Callanish from the book but if you have time can you expand on 'the big lunar thingy'.

Away from Callanish it's all about alignments. Where will the moon rise/set at it extremes when viewed from various monuments? It's a similar thing to the year alignment at Newgrange, but it only happens once every 18.6 years.

I think know a site where the moon will rise out of Howth, which I might check out. I'll try my best to keep the results for the book :-)

I think Dowth is another one to check out ...

Ooh the possibilities!
