Solstice axis (midsummer sunrise to midwinter sunset)

alignment

Alignment0

Note

Azimuth 49° to the north-east (midsummer sunrise, declination +24°) and 229° to the south-west (midwinter sunset, -24°), as Ruggles gives it to the nearest degree from the excavation plans. The line is computed from that azimuth through the fitted centre and drawn 500 m each way; its length means nothing. The Avenue's first stretch runs within a degree of it.
