Center of The Sanctuary showing the position of the '7 Foot Ring Post positions marked in red. |
There are eight 'F' posts.
"The 7 Foot Ring".
The sole purpose of the 7 Foot Ring seems to be to act as markers for the next ring (the 10 foot 'E' ring).
The position of the G posts is echoed by the posts placed between the 'corridors'.

Center and middle of The Sanctuary. How the F Posts act as position markers for the four 'corridors'. |
When the post holes were excavated they were found to be "filled with distinctive brown mold without any relics". Nor were there any trace of cores in any of the holes.
Size of the post holes.
Average 30" deep (43"-24") 43 inches= 1 metre, 24 inches= 60 cm.
At the top, the hole size was 12"-18 "= about 40 cm.
The diameter at the bottom of the post 6" inches diameter = 15 cm.
Arrangement of posts.
As at Woodhenge, the F posts follow a pattern, or exhibit a symmetry based on 1 and 2.
The pattern here is 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1.
The F posts exhibit a symmetrical pattern based on 1 and 2. This is also found at Woodhenge. |
