Re: Achnabreck by STOCKDALE on Wednesday, 08 September 2021

Can I ask if any measurements are being taken from the rock carvings? For example the length of the grooves, distances from cup hole to cup hole?
Personally I believe these measures will confirm that a unit of length was used to incorporate important information into the design.
Thom thought there was a Megalithic inch. I believe there was usage of the HSMi. The Harris and Stockdale Megalithic Foot of 14.142 inches /56=.2525 inches. In my first book 'Astronomy and Measurement in Megalithic Architecture' I gave a detailed explanation of how this was done at the Swastika Stone, Ilkley.
In my new book, 'A New Dimension to Ancient Measures' there are further rock art examples from Scotland showing how the HSMi was used to incorporate important astronomical values into the megalithic design.
For further details please contact me at : [email protected]

Thanks. Peter Harris.
