The Pipers, St Buryan

The Pipers, St Buryan
Author Jim Champion



Pipers are a pair of standing stones near the Merry Maidens Stone Circle in Cornwall, United Kingdom.
There are two of them separated by about 90m, and they are known as The Pipers I and The Pipers II.

Coordinates
50.067394,-5.585738

The name of these two stones derives from a legend that they were, in fact, two pipers who were turned to stone for playing music on the Sabbath for the nearby dancing Merry Maidens.
A different legend states that the two stones were set up following a 10th-century battle in which the Anglo-Saxon English, led by Æthelstan, fought the Cornish Celts, ledHowel and supported by the Danes.
The Pipers were said to mark the positions of the two opposing leaders.

Alignment
The Pipers are currently aligned at 50° towards the northeast or southwest.
Although they align with the Merry Maidens Stone Circle, the angle is between 50°-53°.
The southwest stone is 4.7m tall, and the northeast stone is 4.2 m.

In the article 'Merry Maidens Stone Circle' it was shown that the circle was built in the 25th century bc (Bronze Age) and the nearby observational point called Tregiffan Burial Chamber which could be used for star tracking and Gun Rith were neolithic.

Measurements
If the heights connect, then the difference at 0.5 metres could give an age.
In the following, two possibilities give a date in the Neolithic and in the Bronze Age.
Obliquity is used for the 0.5°.
4.7-4.2=0.5m
((0.5÷1.2)×10250)=4270.83 bc
Or
4270-1985=2285 bc


The difference between these two dates is 1985, which is the maximum tilt

4270-2285=1985

If the diameter of the Merry Maidens Stone Circle is 21.33m and tilt of Piper I is 17° or 17°+90°=107° suggesting there is a route along the ground at 90m, then the following could be correct.
4270÷21.33=200.13
2285÷21.33=107.13
200.13-17=183.13
183.13×21.33=3906.1629
3906.1629−1985=1921 bc

This then gives it a new date of 1921 bc, although it depends on the width measure and angle of inclination and is measured from maximum tilt.
This suggests that it is nothing more than two stones being erected at a date, which is just the date they were erected.
This also shows that Merry Maidens Stone Circle was already there.

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." The tomb was archaeologically excavated in the 1920s. Coordinates 53.207714,-4.236147 Further monuments: The Bryn Celli Ddu Standing Stone is a short, rounded stone approximately 520 feet away from the Burial Chamber at an angle of 31 degrees to wa rd the southwest.

Fernworthy Stone Circle

Fernworthy Stone Circle Fernworthy Stone Circle is located in Dartmoor National Park in Devon. The circle is thought to be from the Bronze Age. There are several other stones that lead away from the site and could possibly be connected, with several stone cairns located nearby in the woods. Coordinates 50.641163,-3.903817 Description The circle is 60 feet in diameter and contains 29 granite stones. 27 stones are visible, and 2 are mostly buried. One of these two could be considered a marker or pointer and aligns at 80° northeast to a dip in the circle. Analysis From the stone marker to the dip in the circle's circumference aligns best at 80° toward the northeast. When using this angle and aligning the stones, the following are produced: The number 1 is used for no alignment and 2 for an alignment. Clockwise 80° 12111111112211111111122 Anti clockwise 80° 2121121122111111112211 Unlike other stone circles, a pattern or calculation is usually produced, and when using 11 or...
