Gorsedd Circle The Gorsedd Circle is a stone circle in Fishguard, Wales. The Gorsedd Stones are a Welsh tradition of modern stone circles constructed for the National Eisteddfod of Wales. These stone circles can be found at several locations, including Aberdare Park and Anglesey. They are typically 20 metres wide and have 12 stones on the circumference with a level stone in the circle. A further stone is usually set back from the circumference; the central stone is called the Logan Stone. Coordinates 51.996431,-4.975040 Stone Circle Gorsedd Circle is a typical stone circle but has 13 stones on the circumference with one inset. It was erected in 1936 and has the names of the parishes inscribed on each stone. Ceremony During the opening ceremony, the Archdruid stands on the Logan Stone facing the Stone of the Covenant. Two stones mark the entrance and are called the Portal Stones. These mar k the midsummer and midwinter sunrises. Gorsedd Circle (no edit) Archeology7...
Creevykeel Court Tomb
Conclusion
This suggests a number of things, including the angle 57°. The number of times it appears suggests that it is the desired number. With this also connecting with the current right accession at 27.82°, this number could vary slightly and give a slightly different date.
A rarity amongst neolithic people was to fix a location for measure along the longitude and in this situation would mean a measure was made using current tilt and meridian line. Variation of the coordinates and angles to include circumference at 54° produces 8.433698−7.82=0.613698
8.38-7.82=0.57
8.433698−7.863698=0.57
Polar circumference 111.1306×7.863=873.897km

0.57°=36.902km
Although the angle 0.57° doesn't equate to the distance to either the Carrowkeel Megalithic Cemetery or Creevykeel Passage Tomb, it is an angle of 0.617° and 0.3° (this is a °/km figure). 0.617°=39.95km 0.3°=19.42km
Reapplying to the angle to derive at a date. 27.25+0.617=27.867
27.867-20=7.867
7.867=3090 bc
The 27.82° was from the current right ascension but using 27.867° would put a measurement 3.043km further east, at the same latitude this would be 27km out to sea, including tilt would put it just off the coast north of Withernsea. Vertical drift is equal to +0.05717° leaving obliquity at 0.591°, if these were to be included, a number of 0.649 would alter the angle from 0.003.
So varying the angle so that it is 0.617, which gives 56.389 and an angle of 7.7898°.
((54.43877−(−10.335)+0.052201624)−7.82-0.05717-0.591=56.357
57.006-56.357=0.649
((54.43877−(−10.335)+0.052201624)−7.82-0.05717-0.591=56.389
56.389+0.591+0.05617-0.052201624-10.335-54.43877=7.7898
Giving a 3040 bc number for the 0.617° difference, connecting Carrowkeel Megalithic Cemetery (0.3°) and Creevykeel Passage Tombs (0.617°) to the date 3040 bc for Creevykeel Court Tomb. It is also possible that a longitudinal marker could have been 27.82° away at 54° latitude, giving left or right ascension measurements.
Either way, this would be 1801.1km away at 54°.

Creevykeel Court Tomb
This is a court tomb located in Count Sligo, Ireland. There are a number of monuments in the area and are suggested to date to 3500bc.
According to some, the monument isn’t connected astronomically.
This could be partly due to its irregular shape but could be similar to Drombeg Stone Circle, which has been shown that stellar objects connect with the stone holes or gaps. If this is applied to Creevykeel, it could be suggested that the middle is a binary with two stars of equal distance away.
The west face is curved with the 16° entrance. The rooms probably fit star locations and shape with two units being separate. This means that the intention is a +16° declination off the surface towards a group of 4/5 stars or separate astronomical objects. The large area is said to have been used as a meeting area but could also represent a clear area amongst the stars, leaving the four rooms to line up with these stars.
So, is there an astronomical connection?
In the constellation Cetus there is a star Zeta Ceti, a 25 solar radii sun at a distance of 235ly with a drift of -0.0103°/1000 years, the constellation itself spans between +10° / -10° about the equator.
Zeta Ceti is a binary star.

Here is a 20° and a 0° (max tilt) north and south, with a difference of 4° east/west. This is more likely not to be forward aligned with just mention of the tilt.
The indication is that it should be 20-13=7 north-south and thus east-west 77-73=4. So if the location of Creevykeel at 54.43877° north is subtracted from Zeta Ceti location -10.335°, including drift and proposed angle of inclination at the time of building 7.82°, a number of 57° is obtained.
((54.43877-(-10.335)+0.052201624)−7.82=57.006°
The remaining sides produce 73 or 16, 16 being the angle aligned with the entrance.
77-20=57
73-0=73
73-57=16
The curvature of the west side and the angle of 16° suggests this aligns with the planet's curvature, the distance to Zeta Ceti being 235ly. The ratio of area to distance is 57%. This could then connect with the declination of 57°, assuming that the tilt was 7.82° less (3060bc). The 16° is unclear and could just be a number to subtract from 73°, this could have just been 54° but it might not have been curved as required.
Carrowkeel Megalithic Cemetery and Creevykeel Passage Tomb
The Carrowkeel Megalithic Cemetery and Creevykeel Passage Tombs were probably also connected to the same builders. The design, building materials, and style are all very similiar, they are dated about the same time, 3500-2900 bc, and are about 35-40km away.

With this, these builds are as suggested. They were built to bury their dead after an event, and they used stars in the sky at the time to align with.
