Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Explains the celestial mechanics of archaeoastronomy; describes difficulties confronting the fieldworker; and recommends a programme of research for N Ireland (eg three-stone rows could be examined to compare with the circle tradition). Used with care, archaeoastronomy can help with chronology, reveal distant cultural links, and offer social insights. A preliminary corpus of three-stone rows in Belgium, France, Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland is provided. |
