	Orkneyjar Archaeology News - "Brogar" no more - and farewell to "Maes Howe"
		The government agency are to stop using the name "Ring of Brogar" when referring to the Ring o' Brodgar in Orkney's West Mainland.
		Historic Scotland's decision to use "Ring of Brogar" for the Brodgar henge was based on the name that appeared on Ordnance Survey maps - which are notorious for corrupting Orkney placenames.
		However, although they always referred to the stone ring as "Brogar", they would refer to the other related placenames as "Brodgar" - Ness of Brodgar, Brodgar Farm, Brig of Brodgar, etc - a fact that caused considerable confusion among visiting tourists and even academia.

	Decoding the Stones with Gridman - Brogar on Orkney
		Co-ordinating each place into the other, they appeared out of seemingly nowhere and as quickly disappeared into obscurity with no record of their passing except rows and rings of stone and evidence of a knowledge and technology not known for thousands of years yet to come and some of which is still unknown today.
		Brogar was placed where it is because its Grid Co-ordinates placed it in the best possible place to be.
		So now it becomes obvious why the Ring is where it is. And it is also interesting that Stonehenge is 543.75 miles away on a bearing of 173.33 deg.
