Gorsedd Circle The Gorsedd Cir cle is a stone circle in Fishguard, Wa les. T he Gorsedd Stone s 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 Ab erdare Park and A nglesey. They are typically 20 meters 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) Archeology77 ©
Castleruddery Stone Circle
Castleruddery Stone Circle is a recumbent stone circle and National Monument located in County Wicklow, Ireland.
It is 30 m (98 ft) in diameter (although east/west it is nearer 27m) with 29 stones, some of which are decorated with cup marks. The number of stones is nearer 37 stones on or near the circumference with 4 offset at the entrance and 6 in pairs inside. The cup marks could represent the latitude at the location. The entrance is considered as the two enormous white quartz portal stones at the entrance, weighing about 15 tons. The circle itself is surrounded by an embankment about 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in) high and 4.5 m (15 ft) wide.

Meaning
After marking the tall stones horizontally and with 45° lines towards the northeast, a line can be drawn so as to pass through the intersections. These vertical intersections are at 2°,4° and 18°.
The 4° and 18° intersect at a point outside the circle. A triangle measured in metres would have an area of 250m².
The 2° and 4° intersect also at a point outside the circle. A triangle measured in metres would have an area of 660m².
The ratio of these is 2.64, as a direct angle would equate to 655 bc. If using 655 as the area, the angle increases to 6.05. If using these numbers (2.64 by 6.05) as sides in a triangle, then an angle of 23.575° is produced.
23.575−23.253=0.322
Another number is produced from a 12×15 triangle whose angle is 38.66°, the difference from 45 is 6.34. When converted into a year, it equals 2105.
45−38.66=6.34
6.34÷1.55=4.09032258
4.09032258×1000=4090.32258
4090.32258−1985=2105.32258
This confirms it as obliquity, but it is just 0.322, and the other number converted into a year gives a similar number plus 2105. (Obliquity at midpoint is equal to 23.253°)
The 2105 is from Castlerigg, which was the primer, but it also included a further number.
As these two probably confirm alignment, it is probably a Lunar or Solar Eclipse.
A typical lunar eclipse is defined by date/time, event, and direction, and particularly as 'beginning, max, end and duration, with altitude and magnitude'.
A penumbral ecplise occurred on 21st March 1215 bc with maximum ecplise at 11.27, lasting for 1hr 46mins.
A penumbral ecplise occurred on 20th April 1215 bc with maximum ecplise at 02.44, lasting for 3hrs 12mins.
A total solar eclipse occurred on 5th April 1215 bc with maximum ecplise at 01.46, lasting for 6 minutes.
So applying these to the numbers available shows that the year derives from the 12 by 15 triangle, the lunar eclipse was a penumbral but small so it could be depicted by a curved tall stone near to a small stone for both events.
From the four tall rounded stones used as pairs opposite each other, then 11.27 and 21st March can be defined. East/ West is 11.27. This is defined as hours and minutes on a clock face with each minute defined as 6° and each hour as 15°. If the tall stone is 11.00 at 15° then 00.27 is at 18°, for the day the north/south pair of tall stones are at 21° north, this is probably 21.3° north.
As it is either complicated or too simple then if the circle is faced west/east then the time 2.44 can be defined, the 2.00 as the east stone and 00.44 as 247° clockwise from there or 6° difference. The 20th April date, like the other date, is from the other two tall stones, which are at 20° to each other, which again is probably 20.5°.
It is required that the ecplise has passed and that it is known that the event connects to the circle. The purpose of the curved large stones becomes clearer as a depiction of the event.
As the events match the year 1215 bc then the circle was built shortly afterwards.
To clarify the year, using the above interpretation and the entrance, which is at 15° as the 12.00 in 1215, then at 90° or 00.15, aligns to the small stone between the two large stones.
