Down Tor Stone Circle

Down Tor Stone Circle Down Tor Stone Circle is a stone circle near Down Tor, Dartmoor. Also called Hingston Hill Cairn. Foggintor Quarry is not far to the northwest, where the stones could have been quarried, along with Down Tor, which is currently a national park. Crazywell Cross is to the north and Drizzlecombe to the south. Coordinates  50.506060,-3.994103 Description  Down Tor Stone Circle consists of a long stone row with a circle of stones at the end towards the southwest. This can be considered similar to Drizzlecombe in shape and construction, and is 2 kilometers away. Measurements  This tor and circle are angled at 22° towards the southwest, with the row at a length of 755 feet or 230 metres. Analysis  It is possible that Down Tor Stone Circle is similar to Drizzlecombe, which was shown to be possibly connected with the golden ratio and π or 9πφ together. The circle is 40 meters wide. If using the 22° on the circle towards the northwest, then all stones pair...

Merry Maidens of Boleigh Stone Circle

Merry Maidens of Boleigh Stone Circle



Located between Lamorna and St Buryan in Cornwall with current coordinates 50.065065,-5.588525.

19 stones count in the circle with 1 outside, making a total of 20. The 1 outside stone is thought to have been moved. An angle of 41° is from the moved stone cutting through as a diameter, which is currently at 13°, the 54° is from the finish location, these subtracted =41°.



Using these angles produces sets of numbers.
At 41°
2,2,1,1,1,1,1,1

Then, at 54° from the finish location
1,1,1,1,2,2,2,0,2,2

One interpretation is to superimpose one set of numbers onto the other with a rotation of 85°. This is an angle of 46° to align with '0'.


1,1,1,1,2,2,2,0,2,2

                           2

                           2

                           1

                           1



A triangle forms from the '0' stone with an area of 270m and perimeter of 79m. These are the nearest numbers and the use of the term 'about' but coincide with angle and the direction of marked stones.

After applying the '2's against the corresponding stones, so 79° is an angle with the outside stone and the two stones together. Three sides are marked as indicating 270° leaving one stone and six stones.

After applying angles to the remaining stones.
89°,83°,72°,64°,55°,45°.

Differences are
1-,6,11,8,11,10.

Using 11 as root gives 53.67, which is about 54°.
6×(√(8)×(√(10)=53.67





Because there are already a 1 and 6 as stones remaining, this could be root of 8 numbers × by root of 10 numbers.

√2,2,1,1,1,1,1,1×
√1,1,1,1,2,2,2,0,2,2

√(22111111)×√(1111222022)
=156749333


Instead, using numbers 10,11,8,11,6,1.

√((1,111,222,022))÷√((22,111,111))
=7.089
7.089÷1.55×1000-1985=2589

This number could be a date or time connected to a burial and not necessarily the construction date.

Nearby an observational point called Tregiffan Burial Chamber, which could be used for star tracking and Gun Rith a neolithic marker point.

The marker points could both be neolithic with the stone circle and burial chamber being about 2500 bc.
