A great many declinations can be obtained by drawing lines on the map joining the isolated menhirs scattered over the countryside, but until these lines are examined and surveyed on the ground they are valueless. Two, however, may be mentioned because both appear to make use of the huge stone at Le Manio (M) as a lunar foresight. From the menhir in the woods a kilometre SW from Le Moustoir the azimuth of M is about 118°·7. With an estimated altitude of 0°·3 the consequent lunar declination is — 18°·3, which may be compared with —(ɛ—i—s)=—18°·2. Similarly, from a menhir on the map just to the east of Kerlagad the menhir M shows a lunar declination close to —(ɛ+i).

In both cases it will be necessary to run a difficult traverse through the woods to the menhir at Le Manio before any importance can be attached to these declinations.
