Dolni Glavanak Cromlech

The Dolni Glavanak Cromlech is an oval stone circle located 2 kilometres west of village of Dolni Glavanak, some 12 kilometres from town of Madzharovo, in Bulgaria [1]. The site is situated on a low ridge-top above the left bank of the Arda river [1]. The circle consists of vertical, roughly-shaped, blocks of local hard volcanic rock (rhyodacite) [1]. Nine blocks still stand and three are now fallen [1]. The site was discovered and excavated by Georgi Nehrizov in around 1998–1999 [1]. The excavations uncovered decorated pottery, as well as bronze artefacts (a fibula and a pin) [1]. These date the construction of the cromlech to the second phase of the Early Iron Age (8th–6th centuries BC) [1]. The site continued in use into the late Iron Age [1].
