Down Tor Stone Circle Down Tor Stone Circle is a stone circle near Down Tor, Dartmoor. Also called Hingston Hill Cairn. Foggintor Quarry is not far to the northwest, where the stones could have been quarried, along with Down Tor, which is currently a national park. Crazywell Cross is to the north and Drizzlecombe to the south. Coordinates 50.506060,-3.994103 Description Down Tor Stone Circle consists of a long stone row with a circle of stones at the end towards the southwest. This can be considered similar to Drizzlecombe in shape and construction, and is 2 kilometers away. Measurements This tor and circle are angled at 22° towards the southwest, with the row at a length of 755 feet or 230 metres. Analysis It is possible that Down Tor Stone Circle is similar to Drizzlecombe, which was shown to be possibly connected with the golden ratio and π or 9πφ together. The circle is 40 meters wide. If using the 22° on the circle towards the northwest, then all stones pair...
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

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.
