Summary

Four features of the moon, the carvings at the Newgrange passage
grave, cup and ring marks elsewhere, and the Station Stones at
Stonehenge have defied detailed explanation. Prompted by the
Newgrange carvings a model is presented which accounts for all
these conundrums:

in historic times the Plane of the moon's orbit slowly turned
180-deg about the earth. The sequence of events is identified.

_Introduction_

The extended work of Prof George Eogan, University of Dublin, in
the passage grave at Knowth in the Boyne Valley, Ireland, is
approaching its culmination. This has been marked by Dr Philip
Stooke, University of Western Ontario, discovering that an outline
pattern of the main features of the full moon is carved on the rock
there; at certain times this is illuminated by moonlight shining
down the eastern passage Martin Bryne reports alignments related to
the moon in tombs at Carrowkeel in the Bricklieve Mountains, County
Sligo.

These associations with the moon prompt further consideration of
its role in prehistoric times. This paper seeks to bring together
possible answers to three hitherto unconnected puzzles:
characteristics of the moon which are contrary to expectations;
neolithic glyphs or carvings on stones, including so-called 'cup
and ring' marks; and the functions of stone circles and henges.

A model is proposed based on evidence adduced from astronomical and
archaeological sources and this invites further and more detailed
exploratory work by specialists in these fields.
