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...
Menhir De Kerscaven
Menhir De Kerscaven consists of two stones. The taller with grooves is 8m tall, and the shorter is 7m tall. The angle between them is 63° and the distance is 202m (663ft).
In another pair of stone menhirs, the distance and angle along with height difference were used to achieve a possible explanation.
For Menhir De Kerscaven, the ratio of heights is 1.14. If then multipled by the distance, it gives 230.

The following are a short description, which includes altitude above sea level for each mentioned.
Coordinates
47.799101,-4.326006
Menhir De Kerscaven
1 stone with grooves (altitude 7m)
1 stone, which is round (altitude 11m)
Dolmen de Lestriguiou
Is a dolmen which is missing its stone caps. (altitude 25m)
Dolmen of the tip of the torch
Is a dolmen who is also missing its stone caps. (altitude 11m)
Menhir de la Vierge
Is a menhir 4m tall with a carved out smaller stone on the island of Hoedic.
(altitude 13m)
The following could only be modern-day alterations of stones or dolmens.
The Alignements de La Madeleine seem to follow a modern road. (altitude 13 - 17m)
Further north is a dolmen called Covered Alley of Lesconil, it is a dolmen with all of its cap stones removed. (altitude 68m)
Alignements de Lagatjar are in the shape of pi in the commune of Camaret-sur-Mer. (altitude 47m)
Conclusion
It is unlikely that the Menhir De Kerscaven were moved recently as they weigh 50 tonnes, the Alignements de La Madeleine, and Alignements de Lagatjar could have been moved pre/post war as part of land clearing.
The Covered Alley of Lesconil is not a design from any typical dolmen, along with Dolmen de Lestriguiou and Dolmen of the tip of the torch could have had their stone caps removed.
The Dolmen of the tip of the torch could either be coincidentally at 11m or it, and the others were moved to an 11m altitude and adjusted, stones being used from multiple dolmens that exist in the area.
A possible purpose was that the people adjusting the stones wanted more to be connected to the 11m altitude and not just Gravinis.
In this case, Gravinis shows signs of being chosen so as to be above sea level of 11m in 1985 by people who built it in about 4655 bc, defined by its capstone of 11m.
Hence, any other builds that connect to 11m above sea level also connect to any understanding from an earlier time or also any errors.
