Note: These positions were calculated using SkyGlobe and are accurate for the Boyne Valley area. They will only be approximate for other latitudes. Also, azimuths will vary according to elevation and altitude. 2,800BC was chosen as the date on which to base these calculations because much of the mound-building in the Boyne Valley would have been completed at this time.
