Proposed site for the I-LOFAR station

Here is one last photograph before we leave the Emerald Isle and return to the cooler climes of the Arctic north. The proposal is to the build the Irish LOFAR station in a field within the castle grounds. The following panorama shows the field and the surrounding landscape.

For those who are worried about the trees, don't panic! We have checked and all of them fall below the elevation clearances required by the ASTRON station requirements.
