OTHER EVIDENCE OF SITES POSITIONED PRECISELY

In the Vale of Glamorgan many villages that share the same saint’s name appear to have been precisely positioned so that their ancient centres - which today are represented by churches - are a non-random distance apart when measured using the ancient British measure of the Pole.

Examples are:

Michaelston le Pit- Michaelston super Ely 1000 poles

Michaelston super Ely – Michaelstone yr Fedw 3000 poles

St Donats – Welsh St Donats 2500 poles

St Brides – St Brides Wentlooge 4000 poles

Llantwit Major – Llantwit Fardre 4000 poles

Colwinston - Bonvilston 2500 poles

Colwinston - Llanharan 2000 poles

Llysworney - Lanharan 2000 poles

St Brides Major - Cowbridge 2000 poles
