248.12 | [Circle Number 11]. This unlike the others, is a small square composed of four massive blocks of sandstone, not vertical but horizontally laid forming. This place I am informed was recently dug into, and an urn and some flint arrowheads found in it. McArthur's Antiquities assigns all those Circles to be of sepulchral origin. The Numbers to the Circles are used only for description. |
