I did say there are 5 monuments in the arrangement George , including the recumbent stone . The triangles are regular , and precise , as confirmed by measurement on the ground . There is more to the relative sizes that also link them all together. Your contention that this could be anything other than deliberate has little merit I believe , as all the monuments in the area are involved , there is no chance event here .

The definition of a regular triangle is :A regular triangle is one for which all sides are congruent and all interior angles are congruent. That is not what we find . If there was one it might be more interesting . At best it is two "vees "of differing length , with a margin of error due to the diameters of the cairn and ringwork for both . All the "monuments " are different and undated , one is a rock in a ditch another is a "platform ". I don't believe your contention that the distances as measured on a map between some of the points shows intentionality , has any merit ,for various reasons mentioned earlier .
