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...
Foel Drygarn Hill Fort
Foel Drygarn Hill Fort is located in Pembrokeshire, Wales.
Its name means "The hill of the three cairns" and is considered an Iron Age hillfort with three Bronze Age cairns.
Two kilometers to the west is Carn Goedog on the Preseli Hills with Carn Bica, and four kilometers to the southwest is the Gors Fawr Stone Circle.
Coordinates
51.970166,-4.683347
Other monuments in the area
Morganna Standing Stone
51.950550,-4.609143
About ten kilometers to the southeast.
Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber
51.998964,-4.770052
About ten kilometers to the northwest.
Waun Mawn Standing Stones
51.970930,-4.792074
About eight kilometers to the west.
Description
Foel Drygarn Hill Fort is at an altitude of 363 meters, and although it is on its own hill, it is not the highest monument in the area.
The hillfort and cairns appear to be mostly composed of small, randomly placed rocks.
It is angled 27° toward the northeast and is about 300 meters at its widest point, narrowing to 200 meters and then to 100 meters wide for the cairns.
Conclusion
In certain monuments, there are alignments to stars or planets, while in others, they align with the moon and eclipses. These, though, give the construction date or angle from maximum tilt.
Here, the angle is achieved after multiplying the answer, having used it to divide the coordinates. This suggests that the 27° is correct but should connect to other stones in the area.
This is unclear with the hillfort producing a decreasing number.

Analysis
If using the available numbers of the coordinates, the angle, and altitude, then the following is produced.
(51.97×4.68)÷27=9.0
9×3=27
The answers multiplied by the number of cairns give the angle aligned toward the northeast.
If we consider the Carn Goedog along with the Carn Bica and Foel Drygarn Hill Fort as a triangle, the following measurements are produced:
The lengths are 800, 3600, and the angles are 95°, 12.2°, and 72.7°.
There are various ways of interpreting these numbers. One possibility is that 3600 are seconds, 800 are hours, and 3756 are days.
3789.3−1985=1804 bc
The remainder equals 8 hours
To the southwest is the Gors Fawr Stone Circle. This isn't quite eight hours as if on a clock face. The angle is 63° toward the southwest or 27°. An angle of 30° toward the southwest would equal eight.

Although the year produced is from the Bronze Age, these measurements are quite rough, but they produce the 27° again. The eight hours is from 0.3 of a day.
Other numbers can also be produced with this style of cairn, dating to a much earlier date. It is possible that, like elsewhere in the area, stones were cleared for farming or road building. The cairn was built around burial chambers and standing stones and styled to include a connection to them.
It can be suggested that this was nearer the twentieth century, possibly the early 1800s.
