Bryn Celli Ddu Chambered Tomb

Bryn Celli Ddu Chamber Tomb




Bryn Celli Ddu Chambered Tomb is considered a prehistoric 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.

Bryn Celli Ddu means "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 toward the southwest.

The Tyddyn-Bach Standing Stone is a tall, neolithic stone along with a clearing approximately 1390 feet away from the Burial Chamber at an angle of 17 degrees toward the northwest.


Description
Bryn Celli Ddu measures about 90 feet wide but is not a complete circle, with a height of about 9 feet. The entrance opens out toward the northeast and currently measures 39°.


Measurements
If the stones are connected and measured from the entrance, they are 160° and 236° clockwise.
Further markings on the tomb measure 6°, 77°, and 80°, or if paired, 30° and 12°.


Analysis
It is most likely that the chambered tomb is more recent than Neolithic and was built in 1447 BCE.
This is because the entrance faces 39° towards the northwest, where the number 39 could be 45°, suggesting an earlier date. However, there is a separation of 10 between marker points on the tomb. If the latitude of 53.2077° is divided and converted to a year, then 1447 BCE is produced.



Conclusion
It is most likely that the Chambered Tomb was built near a Neolithic marker, but they used the latitude angle and 6° from 45° on a circle with other markers to produce the number 10.

Later, a further stone was included, with the Neolithic marker being moved during clearing.

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 ...
