I don't feel at all qualified to say much on this subject, Ive only been to Trethevy once and that was a few years ago, nor do I know a great deal about archaeology or arcaeoastronomy(just what ive seen on tv and in the few books ive been able to afford).
But some things I do know, if you stare long enough at something you will see what your looking for, in all aspects of life. You said in one post that you stayed on site for four days, and that the stones speak in a language were only now decoding, may I suggest that the lanuage being spoken is Gobbledy-gook and the message is gibberish, four days on site would be almost a torture, no wonder your beginning to see things in the stones.
Wasn't me that said tht Postie!!

I don't think I've ever seen a Portal Tomb. I do know that staying on site doesn't add to clarity. That comes from learning abstract facts and then applying them to a site, or event. I do know that when you find stuff that people will appear out of the woodwork to proclaim you as deluded, mistaken, or worse. I also know that an old gadgee found some very interesting things looking at the shadows cast by Cumbrian circles around the calendar days. Shadows are so ephemeral and not 'scientific'. I also know that stone structures can appear to be unstable for years and then topple or fall, seemingly at random, when there's a deluge or a fast thaw (a stonemason has his ears wide open for the the scrapy rumble that presages collapse and gets out of the way fast). You don't mess with gravity! But where are the measurements of the squircle? I know of an animal called the squirrcodile - found in the Ohio wetlands - quite a shy creature, scampers amongst trees, but with a prehensile tail and a double row of razor-sharp incisors.
