Association

This isolated cromlech was discovered just 0.2km due south of Ge BC 4 (map quad E4k). It is entirely possible that this burial was originally part of Ge BC 4 and that the intense disturbance of the site has effectively isolated this construction.

Topography

Like Ge BC 4, this cromlech is sited on a southeast facing slope that drops precipitously into a steep ravine. The hillside is highly eroded and littered with boulders and blocks that often appear to have been shaped, but now lie on the surface, removed from their original context.

General Description

This small bedrock cromlech was built into the slope. Bedrock was lightly shaped to define the upslope arc of the outer ring while the reminder of the circle was built of small blocks. The visible capstone is very large--quite disproportionate to the 3.65-diameter outer ring. The capstone is at least 0.95m long, 0.60m wide, and 0.70m tall.
