Gorsedd Circle

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 ©

Castlerigg Stone Circle

Castlerigg stone circle near Keswick in Cumbria.

It is possibly connected with a Neolithic/early Bronze Age Langdale axe industry and a location for trade.
It is currently owned and managed by English Heritage, the circle is centred in the Lake district between passes and thought to align with solstices and sunrise.

The circle measures 32.6 m (107 ft) at its widest and 29.5 m (97 ft) at its narrowest, the official number or stones stand at 40, on their model stone circle there are 37 stones on the circumference and a further 10 inside.



The angles 48°/42° (used for primers) and 74° are used. Primers are derived from using the angles joining stones together. Usually, two stones on the same line equals 1 or 2, and only one equals 0 or 1. Here two are 1 and one is 0.

74° clockwise
48° anti-clockwise

Primers
1-1-1 0 1--11111
1---1-- X
Dashes as 0, 1 as 1 with groups.
=21×(100+5)
=1000/100/x

Using the numbers derived from above, these confirm the angles used and the following are produced.
74°÷3600=0.02055
2205÷10=220.5
2205×0.02055=45.31275
×3600=163125.9
÷1000=163.1259

This could be interpreted as 163° rotation and 1259 bc.
2205÷0.02055÷1000=107.299
220.5×0.02055÷360=29.805
These numbers are then equal to size in feet and metres, as have been measured by archaeologists.


Ring of Brodgar
The Ring of Brodgar is connected to this site by the interpretation of the equations. The angle 163° is used to rotate the stone circle, giving directions to other settlements like a map.

From Ring of Brodgar and using 163° rotation, the angles 9°/12°/20°/22°/35° are produced, two don't align with any known settlements, but three do.


During the Roman invasion of Britain, a Roman Legion was based in the area, most probably near Whitehaven. As some Neolithic sites were thought to have been altered by the Romans, this site seems to be untouched.

Bachwen Dolmen

Bachwen Dolmen The Bachwen Dolmen burial chamber is located near Clynnog-fawr, Caernarfon, Wales. A number of cupmarks exist on the monument, it is notably wedge shaped and with this points out to sea at an angle of 28° towards the northwest. The support stones support this wedge on the sides so are also at 28°, the elevation is 24m. Coordinates 53.018891,-4.375356 Possibilities  There are three possible explanations for this chamber, (1) it is angled so as to align with the Major standstill or (2) it aligns with tilt and angle away for date or (3) two numbers are used and connects with a date. (1) The Major standstill is currently 28.725°, for it to be this, there must be a further stone to give Minor standstill, difference in between or 0.725° as it isn't measurable to that accuracy. (2) More likely it is maximum tilt 20° and 8° tilt for that year. 8÷1.55=5.1613 5.1613×1000=5161.3 5161.3-1985=3176.3 bc 8° equates as 3176 bc. (3) The only numbers used are 28 and 24, from

Queen's Chamber 

Queen's Chamber Queen's Chamber Khufu's pyramid is below the King's chamber and is of a similar size and shape but with the difference that it includes a niche. The chamber is constructed of smaller blocks with the walls made up of six blocks high, and the niche is formed from a gap of these six block layers. The gap starts at three cubits wide and reduces to one cubit with an angle of 12°. It has been stated that Khufu's chamber sarcophagus which measures 0.987m high, 1.051m wide and 2.276m long and with a volume of 16.5 cubits³ or 2.36m³ is connected by volume to a circle, 2 cubits and the golden ratio but what is the Queen's Chamber connected to?
