Gorsedd Circle

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.

Dolmen Su Ju' Malmuradu

Dolmen Su Ju' Malmuradu

Author see link



The Dolmen Su Ju' Malmuradu is considered a dolmen and lies southwest of Tresnuraghes, a comune in the Province of Oristano in the Italian region of Sardinia.
Su Ju' Malmuradu is a number of stones put together, a further set of stones are unmarked which were erected near the Chiesa di Santa Vittoria, it is described as having a smoother surface with the rest being curved (it no longer stands).

Coordinates Dolmen Su Ju' Malmuradu
40.236423,8.516213.

Coordinates Sardinian Marker Stone
40.208128,8.492931

Dolmen Su Ju' Malmuradu 
The dolmen has two angles, which are 62 and 85. If taking the average, the angle would be 73.5°.
62+85=147
147÷2=73.5°
Because of its irregular shape, five angles can be deduced, which are 62,85,30,13, and 75°.
The 75° is from choosing the best fit, so if left out, the four angles can be superimposed onto the land at an angle of 73.5° northwest.
This creates a quadrilateral whose area is 60667 sqft and perimeter of 1035ft. The two divided equal 58.62, a number that could be made from two of the angles. When using the other two numbers, they equal one of the sides (the sides are 360ft,270ft,270ft,135ft)
60667÷1035=58.62
(58.62×30)÷13=135

The marker stone was most likely mounted on the platform of its coordinates with the smooth surface facing away.
The smooth surface itself faces southwest and aligns at an angle of 40° with the church that is there at a distance of 1100m.
The average altitude in this area is 173m, 568ft.
There is a nautical theme with both the stones, where one is in the shape, which is of a capstan, and the other a sail repairer.

1100÷1852=0.594
594-568=26

23.76-23.46=0.26
23.76-23.46=0.3

0.26÷1.2=0.2167×10250
0.2167×10250=2220.8−1985
2220.8-1985=235 bc



Conclusion 
The quadrilateral, which forms four lengths from four angles at 73.5° is probably correct. This most likely would be used as a land ownership marker.
The 40° could mean sunset or sunrise with the road being built after the locating of the monument. This could mean a number of things. The use of obliquity to give a date is normal for some monuments, but instead of build date, it makes a reference to events from 235 bc with the use of the nautical mile.
A further nautical theme is with the shape which is of a capstan, a vertical-axled rotating machine developed for use on sailing ships to multiply the pulling force of seamen when hauling ropes, cables, and hawsers.
The event from 235 bc is in Rome, where the consul Titus Manlius Torquatus presides over the first ever closing of the gates of the Temple of Janus, signifying peace.

Although no set date of erection is implied, the most probable date would be the 16th or 17th century ad.

Bachwen Dolmen

Bachwen Dolmen The Bachwen Dolmen burial chamber is located near Clynnog-fawr, Caernarfon, Wales. A number of cupmarks exist on the monument, it is notably wedge shaped and with this points out to sea at an angle of 28° towards the northwest. The support stones support this wedge on the sides so are also at 28°, the elevation is 24m. Coordinates 53.018891,-4.375356 Possibilities  There are three possible explanations for this chamber, (1) it is angled so as to align with the Major standstill or (2) it aligns with tilt and angle away for date or (3) two numbers are used and connects with a date. (1) The Major standstill is currently 28.725°, for it to be this, there must be a further stone to give Minor standstill, difference in between or 0.725° as it isn't measurable to that accuracy. (2) More likely it is maximum tilt 20° and 8° tilt for that year. 8÷1.55=5.1613 5.1613×1000=5161.3 5161.3-1985=3176.3 bc 8° equates as 3176 bc. (3) The only numbers used are 28 and 24, from ...

The gap starts at three cubits wide and reduces to one cubit with an angle of 12°. It has been stated that Khufu's chamber sarcophagus which measures 0.987m high, 1.051m wide and 2.276m long and with a volume of 16.5 cubits³ or 2.36m³ is connected by volume to a circle, 2 cubits and the golden ratio but what is the Queen's Chamber connected to?
