It is a bier used in the old days to carry a casket to the grave and display it before the burial. 3 dots at the base of a 4 that we believe is a change of direction symbol.
“In Christian burial, the bier is often placed in the center of the nave with candles surrounding it, and remains in place during the funeral.”

In regard to the “BIER”, I was waiting to hear from you, …on the number of ‘dots’ and their location.
Those DOTS seem to be crucial in you quest, as they are part of the formula.
Originally, an alchemical sign for Sand, and it was used by the early Spaniards as such. Later it evolved into a few other symbols, such as an Arena/court/yard from the Spanish arena = sand. But it was mostly used as a clear and definite meaning for GROUND. Any ground and any soil…..as in look down.
In your case, I suspect that it was used with double meaning. One ancient,…and one more modern.
The Dot, being a symbol of multiplication in math., and replacing the “x” as multiplying factor, …and Masons in the KGC being involved in ‘adapting codices’ for more modern use, it is fair and logical to assume that this would be an avenue to explore.
Also, a BIER with ‘no legs’, is not going anywhere. It’s THERE, already. As in On the ‘spot’. The #4, was used by early Spaniards as symbol for the Cross.
The location of the ‘originally dug’ BIER should be the center/starting point of the arms of the Cross. The length of each arm, or the distance from the center point, should be:…the Length of the BIER (approx. 6+/- ft.?) multiplied by the # of the Dots. (…when you complete the measurement, mark it and flag it, before digging). Repeat that for the remainder arms of the Cross,
on the original alignment of the buried frame/bier. And see if it makes sense to you, at that location.
The Depth for digging at each flagged location,…. should be “the original depth” of the dig site when the stretcher/BIER was found originally multiplied (again) by the number of Dots. (..the dots are the multiplication factor as the only known constant)
P.S. The symbol the early Spaniards (and many others) used for “change direction” was a depiction of a bird, represented by a reversed #3, and/or upside-downside with the cups of the 3 facing down or up.
Pretty much like most birds in an oil painting on canvas that are seen far away, with no specific detailed features.
P.S. 2 A last reminder, that you should apply the provisions of post # 2385 at any step you deem necessary, (LOL),….as I am not a KGC hunter and the information included should be for inspirational purpose, mostly.

Excellent information. I gained a lot from it. We have a "bird symbol used later on that was a change of direction symbol. and also it was another short map. I like the #4 representing a cross on the ground, as in the spot where lines cross. There was a trail that led to the 4 with the three dots. The Bier was located at another location not involving the 4 symbol. It was buried shallow on a line between to objects that were located about 500 feet apart. Without the legs, it kind of reminds me of the Masonic/Jacob's ladder that was used to replicate the stairs that led into King Solomons middle temple where you would be paid. It could have had seven or three rounds, but my Dad does not remember how many rounds were in the Bier they found.
