Survey of Nine Ladies with inset showing possible perimetric units and geometry (a circle within a square within a circle). The diameter of the originating (outer) circle is 15 megalithic yards. Thus, the length of the axis, which bears true NE to SW, is 12.8 MY = 10.6m. The King Stone bears approx. 243 deg. from the two centres shown.

A possible geometrical design for Seahenge, which archaeologists would tell us was just a poorly-executed attempt at a true circle.
The diameter of the originating circle is seven megalithic yards based on the length of the rod of 839mm found at the site.

A model (a presumed overall plan, or original intent) of the Sanctuary according to the Meg-X Hypothesis. The values are the suggested sizes of the gaps in the assumed perimetric unit. The outer circle measures 756 units (42 x 18) and there are 36 gaps of 18 units, three of 12, two of 21 and one of 30. Note that the arc shown at north is 72 units (4 x 18), and that the three arcs of 12 units derive from 36 units (2 x 18). From ‘Stone Circle Design and Measurement’, by G.J. Bath.

The stone in the middle of the path is a good guide (until somebody moves it) to the proximity of the circle just to the right . The entrance is at the south, and runs almost parallel with the path.
The track leading to the circle, left off the main path to the Nine Ladies. It ends at the embankment, from which point the southern entrance (and ‘T56’ stone) is several metres to the left.
Looking across the circle from the path. The line of trres at right is effectively the diameter (axis). Entrances are right of the nearest and left of the furthest.
The circle is among the trees in the left half of the photo, but note the distinctive tree at the centre of the right half.
