Stoney Littleton Long Barrow

Stoney Littleton Long Barrow









Stoney Littleton Long Barrow is a chambered tomb and is considered most likely Neolithic. It is also known as the Bath Tumulus and the Wellow Tumulus. Bones were discovered during excavations in the early 19th century.
Some people consider it to be connected to Nympsfield Long Barrow.


Coordinates
51.313246,-2.381488



Description
The tomb is angled at 45.5° southeast. It is comparable to other chambered tombs in that it is partly buried with several internal rooms.
It measures 50 feet at the entrance, 30 feet at the far end, and 100 feet in length.

Moon
The Moon's inclination to Earth's equator is currently either 18.28° or 28.58°. The inclination to the ecliptic is currently 5.145°. 
Subtracting these two:
28.58° − 5.145° = 23.435°. 
The difference between 51.313246° and this current tilt is:
51.313246° − 23.435° = 27.878246°. 
The Moon's visual size, as seen from Earth, is 0.5°.

Analysis
If the above numbers—angle of tomb, Moon's inclination, and coordinates—are used, the following applies.
45.5−28.58=16.92
51.31−45.5=5.81
5.81-0.7=5.11



Conclusion
The tomb's shape can be considered a pointer and might be angled toward an important direction or aligned with a star.  If Neolithic, it would be angled between 7° and 14° less, equating to 38.5° and 31.5°. As these angles deviate from known objects, it could possibly align with the Moon.
It is likely that the location was aligned with maximum tilt. 51.31° minus the current tilt of 23.435° equals 27.88°. This is 0.7° away from the current angle of 28.58°.  It is likely that this difference represents an eclipse. The eclipse and solar corona make up the difference.

Subtracting the tomb's current tilt from the current tilt, produces 6.515. Dividing this difference by the Moon's width at the surface, yields 13.03.
23.435−16.92=6.515
6.515÷0.5=13.03
This could be the angle of construction, signifying one Moon's width per degree of movement. This angle produces a date of 6402 BC.
13 ÷ 1.55 = 8.38709
8.38709 × 1,000 = 8,387.09
8,387.09 − 1,985 = 6,402.09

This could then be a tomb built in 6402 BC, and although not pointing to a specific event, an event like an eclipse may have occurred, aligning the tomb to the difference, which directly related to an angle from maximum tilt.
