 The Sunrise 2012 Gateway Venus Transit Stone Circle (Designed by John Martineau & Shaun Kirwan) |
|
This circle is quite unique in its design, and the circumstances
of it's placement. Coincidence was the theme regarding many aspects of the circles creation. Thanks to John Martineau, who suggested and decoded the Moel-Ty-Uchaf Stone circle geometry, which the circle is based upon. |

 Moel-Ty-Uchaf |
 Moel-Ty-Uchaf Cricle This unique Pentagonal Circle is, according to Aubrey Burl, ‘almost perfect’. The cairn-circle of Moel Ty Uchaf stands high on a hill near Llandrillo (Denbighshire, Wales). It consists of 41 stones with a cist in the centre and an outlying stone to the north-north-east. Interestingly recently released government files of the "Welsh Roswell" UFO incident in 1974, occurred very near this circle! |

The Other main alignment is of course summer Solstice Sunrise marked by an outlier stone, which remarkably aligns with Avebury Henge in Wiltshire! Others include: Summer & Winter Solstice Sunset, both Equinoxes, 3 Major Standstills of the moon, Glastonbury Tor, Burrow Mump & Lamyatt Beacon, Alfred's Tower, Cerne Abbas Giant and Fernhill Stone Circle - that John and I created in 2005. |

Here's what John wrote on the original design: 'A Five fold design, with Midsummer sunrise outlier for the festival. Loosely based on the Welsh stone circle Moel-Ty-Uchaf, it also invokes the Venus pentagram and celebrates the 2012 Venus transit. A traditional count of 19 stones in the circle invoke the Metonic cycle, marrying Sun And moon. To Celebrate the 2012 galactic alignment, the pentagon's axis is aligned to midwinter sunrise, the direction os the rising of the centre of our galaxy every night of the year for our lifetimes.' |

I would like to thank, John Martineau for his brilliant design and help with laying out the geometries. It was a pleasure to work with him again. |

Thank you also to the many excellent people who helped us dig holes in the sweltering heat! To Bernie who drove the forks like a maestro. To Sunrise and Dan Hurring for inviting us and paying for stones etc. Andy, the farmer who allowed us to create this beautiful site on his land!
Finally, just to say that this circle was Dedicated to the The Earth, Venus, The Sun, Moon, Nature's Kingdom and Humanities Awakening. Blessings and much Love, Shaun Kirwan - Geomancer & Dowser, Avalon Rising Co-ordinator |
