Julius Caesar inherited a map of Britain in 51BC that provides several clues.

Caesar's Triangle

This map was looked at recently by Adrian Gilbert who added several mathematical computations. Although too complex for inclusion here (please see The Measure of Albion / Heath & Michell) a key observation is that these measurements were inherited by Caesar from Druidic authors. This authorship demonstrates not only highly sophisticated surveying accuracy (remarked on by Caesar), yet also in the divisions of the north-south course hint at something altogether more astonishing that is the 'musical nature' of the geometry. This is better explained in The Measure of Albion and taken up in The Perpetual Choir, where a decagon ring of sites kept constant song.
