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...
The Pipers, St Buryan
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.

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.
