The main henge posts are now in place. Markers and smaller posts for the Celtic cross quarter days still to be added.
More progress on the wood henge and Celtic calendar up at Abriachan Forest, with the main posts for the meridian, equinoxes and solstice rise and set positions now in place.
Not quite finished yet. Abriachan plan to sow seeds for next few weeks and let the ground within the perimeter settle.
Descriptive marks for the main posts and small posts for the Celtic Cross Quarter days Imbolc, Lammas, Samhain and Beltane will be added later.
In addition to tracking the Sun and measuring the solar year, we can use the henge during the stargazing programme to record the rising of new seasonal constellations in the East and rough measurements of the transit altitudes (due south) and azimuth positions of the stars.
We also had a great kick off to the Star Stories program last night with ancient astronomy learning, storytelling and activities for the young ones.
The next event will be Nov 23rd with guest astronomer and author Steve Owens (aka Dark Sky Man). Booking links will go up shortly.
