It’s worthwhile looking at the detail of the relationship between these monuments . An undated cairn is equidistant to Maen Llia and an undated “ ringwork “ . If Maen Llia was also equidistant to the ringwork it would be more noteworthy but more importantly the Coflein comment about Maen Llia “its geometric relationship with nearby Bronze Age monuments points to its prehistoric origins .” This comment along with that for the cairn “The site lies equidistant from Maen Llia and concentric 'hengiform' earthwork within the triangle and thus is probably related to them.” Is nonsense , the other monuments have not been dated to the BA and since when did a couple of equidistant monuments indicate a relationship , where are the precedents ?
Another monument has been introduced into the equation , an undated platform which is also described as being equidistant to Maen Llia and the “ringwork” , it’s 143 m from the stone but due to the diameter of the ringwork it could also be described as being 126m from the cairn . Again there are not two monuments equidistant from Maen Llia . If there is any degree of saliency in these “relationships “ then just as Google earth has produced relationships between obscure monuments from all over the globe and Giza or Stonehenge we will find the old Ley hunters will be out with their rulers , measuring and finding large scale and small scale relationships everywhere .
btw it was not David leighton who first noted this ,it was Bill Griffiths in the late 60's .
