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...

Nympsfield Long Barrow Nympsfield Long Barrow is considered a burial site located nort hwest of the village of Nympsfield  in Gloucestershire. It is thought to date to 2800 BC and is a scheduled monument. Some people consider it connected to Stoney Littleton Long Barrow . Coordinates 51.710252,-2.299706 Description The tomb is angled at 17° northeast. It measure s 5 metres wide by 10 metres long. Two large stones, which could be roof supports, occupy the center, with possibly three rooms off a main corridor. Analysis If the burial site was from 2800 BC, it would be angled 7.417° more. This would give it an angle of 24.41° northeast.  7.41675 + 17 = 24.41675.  There are other roofless tombs shown to align with celestial objects . If considered connected to Ston ey Littleton Long Barrow and using the angle of tilt, the difference is about 1°.  24.416 75 - 23.435 = 0.9817 5 Moon Comparing it to the Moon, like St oney Littleton Long Barrow, the difference ...
