Gorsedd Circle The Gorsedd Cir cle is a stone circle in Fishguard, Wa les. T he Gorsedd Stone s 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 Ab erdare Park and A nglesey. They are typically 20 meters 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) Archeology77 ©
Stonehenge
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument
in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury.
Originally, there would have been a ring of stones with a smaller circle inside. A portion of these stones still stands.
A rough size of these stones is 4m tall by 2m wide by 0.5/0.75m thick.

A rough size of these stones is 4m tall by 2m wide by 0.5/0.75m thick.
Other points of interest in the area include several hundred tumuli, which are burial mounds, including Stonehenge Cursus and Lesser with Woodhenge, not far away from the site.
Neolithic
Stonehenge could have initially been a marker direction point, possibly standing upright from the neolithic, and one of many erected. These for the neolithic people marked points of interest, altitude, or settlement locations.
Stonehenge Cursus and Lesser, date to the neolithic 4600 bc and most probably a representation of the channel's Hurd Deep with Stonehenge dating to 2500 bc.
Bronze Age
In about 3100/2900 bc, this area became more popular, and one set of trilithons were erected and aligned to the minor/major standstills. Along with the megalith, a long etched stone and a number of other stones were stacked towards the planets Saturn/Jupiter/Venus/Mars. These may not have been the stones currently standing there but had been updated by 2500 bc.
Ratio
There is a size ratio connected with the proportions of the structure measured alternating in metres and feet due to the shape.
Reducing in size as rotating in proportions (metres), these numbers are;
1-(2/3)-(1/3)
and (feet)
1-(1/2)-(1/4)
=0-52 and 0-45
=5÷9 and 5÷2.
This then equates as 0.55/2.5, with 7° giving an alignment with the back stone and trilithons entrance. Aligned at between 20.9° and 24.5° with Woodhenge (obliquity of the eclipitic, modern measurements are slightly different at 22.1° and 24.5° but it is 1.2° extra).
With the help of the heel stone 7° rotation equates to 2497 bc. Also, there are signs that the location may have been chosen because of the route from their source and the curves of the River Avon. Avebury stone circle being built only about 55 years earlier.
Iron Age
During the Iron Age, it was common to build embankments and ditches around villages, with some choosing to use the Neolithic monuments.
In 800 bc, the monument was used as a dwelling, roofed, and fortified. The roof was made from branches in a circular pattern with timber upright supports.
Woodhenge would have featured upright logs positioned for significant alignment, which might have been taller than todays.
Measurements
This neolithic/early bronze age showed an increase in trade/travel with ideas from different cultures influencing their thinking.

Numbers associated with the moon are

8.85 years precession of apsides
27.21/29.53 days in sidereal/synodic month
18.134°/28.725° lunar standstill
Alignment
There are five small stones inside the perimeter at spacings of 10°/7°/7°/7° from an angle of 35° - 66°. They all coincide onto a focal point where a stone with a grove would have laid. These would then align with the south western trilithons and only the 45° angle would align through it, 40° - 45° would be the width (this isn't necessarily so as one of the stones are no longer standing).
The total of these angles equal 31°, three stones nearer are at 31° and 68° with half the difference stone 37°÷2=18.5, making it 49.5°.

These would then align with the south western trilithons and only the 45° angle would align through it, 40° - 45° would be the width (this isn't necessarily so as one of the stones are no longer standing).
The total of these angles equal 31°, three stones nearer are at 31° and 68° with half the difference stone 37°÷2=18.5, making it 49.5°.
Although due to the proximity of these stones and the focal point, these angle differences could also be 25.5°/50°/70° with differences 24.5° and 20°, probably associated with maximum tilt and obliquity. Lunar standstill occurs every 13.66 days about half a sidereal month and could connect with the 31 and 66. There is a further small stone at 13° nearer the perimeter, but this aligns at the focal point.
Due to the widths and proximity of the small stones, various angles could be obtained, but assuming it is Lunar and using the difference and not the angle, the following are produced.
Rotational alignment 45°-52°=7°
1st set stones aligned at 36°+7°
2nd set stones aligned at 36°+7°+7°
Using fractions, two numbers, 29.4 and 4.2, are produced, applying a ratio of=31.31. Woodhenge 2 miles away, and applying the ratio of=30.03 days
Ancient Egypt calendar 12 months, 3 seasons (3×10) and 5 no days
(12 months of 30 in 3 seasons)
This could also be a latitude at 30.03° which would locate something like Geriza fountain in Cario and Idku at 31.31° a short distance inland from a palace which existed there but currently underwater.

Analysis
Using the connections with the Moon.
It is possible to show that the number is 13.66, which connects the trilithons stones opposite each other.
The connection is the trilithons stones aligned at 66° with the three evenly spaced stones inside the outer row.
This number then reduces in ⅓ as 66/44/22.
The connection is the middle inner stone that doesn't align with another stone.
Then, the 13 as 13° aligns two stones and reduces in ⅓ as 13/8.6/4.3.
As the sidereal month number of 13.66 is linked, then 8.85 is split in two as 4.425°.
This angle, though, is rotated to the outer stones towards the southwest. The angle pairs stones to the northeast.
Further numbers of the synodic month of 29.53 are split as 14.765°. This aligns the inner circle trilithons to the entrance towards the southwest, and this angle towards the northwest aligns the trilithons towards the north.

Conclusion
A number of possibilities can be concluded here. The main possibility is that the site started as Neolithic and would have marked a point of interest. Then, shortly after Avebury was completed, Stonehenge was expanded and completed by about 2500 bc
(likely 2497 bc).
These builds would have coincided with the building of the pyramids at Giza, and it is understood that ancient Egyptians altered certain neolithic structures to include their numbering system. These people would have shared ideas allowing Bronze Age people to incorporate some of these ideas into the build.
Another is the Moon phase lengths. These numbers are used as angles to pair stones while further numbers are split in two.
Later, the site could have been lived in, appearing something like the image above.
Further settlers might have made their own alterations.
The reason for the shape is not entirely clear, but it is understood that music was played there, and it was used as a gathering place or connected to a circle shortly after Avebury was completed.
Due to the alterations, stones are missing to demonstrate an octave pattern, but a pattern that suggests there was once a link remains as a reducing angle of a ⅓.
Certain numbers produced above could imply frequency or octave.
