Gorsedd Circle

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...

Breeny More Stone Circle

Breeny More Stone Circle is described as an axial stone circle and National Monument located in County Cork, Ireland.

It is short of a circle and would be better described more as a row of stones with a further group adjacent to it, it could also be considered as a monument but it is also possible that there are some stones missing from it's original design.

Coordinates
51.741520,-9.375912

Description 
Due to the shape, this row and group of stones could be considered as two rectangles, outer as the row plus odd stones and inner as the four which are grouped together. They produce the following angles and measurements.
57° outer
64° inner

Best fit outer
48 ft x 18 ft
864 sq ft

Best fit inner
6.66 x 8.66 ft
57.6756 sq ft

(Is there a simple calculation or visual description for the monument?)

(1)
Using radians, as the 57.6756 number is near to 57.296 with a possible measurement inaccuracy, then dividing this number by seconds in a day gives radians÷100.

864×57.296=49503.74
49503.74÷3600=13.75104
13.75104÷24=0.57296


This could mean 1/100, in a triangle of 90° the 0.57296 as radians would equal 32.82832°
32.82832÷57.296=0.57296



From the perimeter, a measure 283.5208m is produced if subtracted from 360 as if degrees in a circle equals 76.4792°. Using this number divided by radians and then multipled by 100 gives a possible distance of 133 km at 76°.
76.4792÷57.296=1.332
1.332×100=133.2 kms

This distance and angle would put it just north of Ennis. In that area, there are multiple lakes with one group in the shape of the four stones. The other stones could be defined by some of the lakes there, but there are quite a few, which in turn could mean that some stones could be missing. 

(2)
Another possibility would be to use the inner and outer angles and apply this to the areas.
864÷57.296=15.0795
√(57.296)=7.5694

Or
57×864=49248
64×57=3648
49248÷3648=13.5
13.5-90=76.5


The latter gives the 76.5 number used for the angle, showing it could be an error check.

Also, the root of the coordinates at both maximum tilt and when built, produce.
√(51.7−9.38)=6.505
51.7−9.38=42.32

So assuming this was 6.505° ago, then its coordinates would have been.
45.2, -9.496.

40075×cos(51.74)=24815.68
68.9324/° latitude
40075×cos(45.2)=28238.22
78.4394/° latitude

A difference of 9.5 kms at 45.2 increases its longitude by 0.121.

√(45.2−9.496)=5.975
45.2−9.496=35.704


Obliquity
Assuming the difference between these two numbers is obliquity and measured from maximum tilt, then the following is produced.
6.505−5.9752=0.5298
(0.5298÷1.2)×10250=4525.375
4525.375−1985=2540.375

Here, a date of 2540 bc is produced


Conclusion
What seems like an elaborate monument centred around the coordinates 52.911354,-9.127157 near Ennis which derived from 83° north (76.5+6.5=83) which uses stones to represent lakes in that area and with 6.5° rotation aligns it at 76.5° where larger lakes of a similiar pattern exist, with the monument built in 2540 bc, seems to be correct.

An analogy would be a group of people moving and expanding in size inside that time. A monument would be fitting for such an ideology.

Along with the possibility that the numbers 24 and 15 could have been used as a directional marker when reaching the correct lake, due to the sea level rise and rainfall rivers and lakes could have be much larger in 2540 bc

This could also be interpretate as moving due to a volcanic eruption, which is known to have occurred twice in about 2500 bc.
In the article 'Dolmens of Spain' in particular the Dolmen de Guadalperal, it is shown as representing Mt.Vesuvius/Mt.Etna.
Dates for eruption are 2635 bc, 2497bc, 2474bc, and 2439 bc with the latter as a documented eruption. 
The Breeny More Stone Circle is thought to be accurate as it uses the root of the coordinate differences and is dated to 2540 bc, which is coincidentally exactly 100 years before the documented eruption.
This could possibly suggest that it is incorrect in the infavour for the earlier date.

Bryn Celli Ddu Chambered Tomb

Bryn Celli Ddu Chamber Tomb Bryn Celli Ddu Chambered Tomb is considered a pre historic tomb with some stone carvings. There are also a number of Neolithic stones scattered around the tomb, which are located on the Isle of Anglesey. Br yn Celli Ddu me ans "the mound in the dark grove."

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?
