Remarks

Locus 3 is the cromlech construction, made out of basalt rocks. It is a stepped type of cromlech with 3 tiers. The first and second tiers consist of a ring of larger rocks with cobbles inside of the ring. The third tier is larger rocks. There is also a terrace of large rocks on the southern part, which is also the lowest part of the slope. On the western part, another cromlech and bud seem to be on top of B07. The "bud" rocks are actually on top of the outermost cromlech ring, while the western edge seems to fade into cobbles--it was difficult to discern which cobbles belonged to which construction. The largest "capstone" is 1.75m x 0.95m. There is a gap between the central capstones--it is unclear if the tomb has been looted, or if the capstones are out of place, or if there is another level below them.
