Cairnholy Chambered Cairn

Cairnholy Chambered Cairn 

Cairnholy I and II are possibly Neolithic chambered tombs of the Clyde type, in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.

They are located by Cairnholy Farm, both are missing some stones, and they were partially excavated in 1949 by Stuart Piggott and Terence Powell. Finds from the excavations are kept in the National Museum of Scotland.

Alignments
One cairn is in a pointer and part circle shape, and then the other is almost quite random due to missing stones. They are 150m apart at an angle of 76° north.
Cairnholy I is aligned at an angle of 41° towards the northwest, right angles to this is 49°.

Cairnholy I resemble a megalithic gallery grave that is found on Sardinia and was built in the 27th century bc, although it isn't very circular with only a slight irregular curve.
This suggests a number of things, but going by location, Cairnholy I, Cairnholy II, Torhouse Stone Circle, and Drumtroddan Standing Stones are all in the Dumfries and Galloway area.
Assuming Cairnholy I is the important one then it's angle of 41° isn't anything other than the cairn (41° is also found in the others and Callanish Standing Stones) meaning it is 49° which is at right angles to it and the pointer shape.
Callanish Standing Stones at 68° are towards the northwest and 386kms and are currently 19° away, which is too big a difference.

Shape
If not an angle then it could be a shape Cairnholy I is a pointer shape and Cairnholy II is a boat shape, if what appears like wings on Cairnholy I are put with Cairnholy II then there is a boat with sails and a pointer.


2163
This number also seems to be connected with the cubit.
The difference between the date from Torhouse Stone Circle and 2500 is 337, the year as an angle is 0.523°.
Also, instead of subtracting the numbers from the circle, they are added, giving a number of 4212, subtracting from 1985, giving 2227.
2163-2500=337=0.523°
4212−1985=2227
If considering that Cairnholy, Torhouse Stone Circle, including Drumtroddan Standing Stones, are separated by about 13kms, which is a number from the circle, it suggests they are connected.
The 2500 could connect as a tilt angle of about 7° as it is possible that the shape is a number seven, the angle between the two Cairnholys is 35° if the pointer is turned towards this angle a number seven shape is produced.




Conclusion
Because of the connections, it can be suggested that they were all built within years of each other.

Connecting to Avebury, which is 7° could be the date of 2500.

The distance angle, 150 multipled by 76, equates to 2100. If the angle 76 is subtracted from 63, a difference of 13 is produced.

150×76=2100

76-63=13

The 13 is 13kms, a separation distance between the three in this area.

It is also connected by 3101 and 41° to Callanish Standing Stones, but these are thought to have been built around 1800 bc and thus would support the 2163 or 2093 as years of settlements in the area.

Because Torhouse Stone Circle relies on the angle between it and the Callanish Standing Stones, it suggests that it is also the same age, either 2500 bc or about 2163 bc.

If the Drumtroddan Standing Stones from Torhouse Stone Circle were  72°/74° +- ³√121

but they are 83° towards the southwest or north/south in 2500 bc. The three between them are in a triangle with an area of 74kms² and a perimeter of 41 km.

This adds to the connection, and each monument in the group could have a separate connection with all connecting to 41, as follows.

Drumtroddan Standing Stones connects to Avebury, Torhouse Stone Circle connects to Callanish Standing Stones, Cairnholy connects to 7° and Callanish Standing Stones connects to 3103 a distance marker.

The clue could be the 41° and might be a date and location marker and isn't connected with these but only signifies an important event in the past, so that would make the build as significant as Avebury is as it connects to pi, Callanish Standing Stones could be a distant and Cairnholy a 7° or boat and direction. This could then mean from a journey by water on a boat from a far land landed here in 2500 bc.

Callanish Standing Stones might have been just one stone in 2500 bc marking a distance of 3101 km to Canada. This measurement was later used elsewhere, or this distance was a marker used later from the 18th century bc.

Although Torhouse Stone Circle includes 3101 and what seems like an angle to Callanish Standing Stones, it could be 3101kms at about 4° to Canada from that location, giving it two meanings. Later adjustments increased the size of the Callanish Standing Stones and retro connected to Torhouse Stone Circle.

Also the following gives the angle used in Torhouse Stone Circle (the angle there was 69.5 + ³√121 at a distance of 386kms), this might show that they were using numbers from other locations and their build location was one of these numbers then connecting all three sites using 3101 and 41.

2163÷3101=0.6975

0.6975×100=69.75

3101÷2163=1.4337

This then suggests that neither 2163 or 2093 are actual dates as might have been expected. A marker location got expanded in the future, possibly when sailing became more used along with any adjustments. This then just leaves a date sometime after Avebury and the Giza pyramids, which could be as late as the 18th century bc.
