It is highly likely that this annular formation is one of Kazakhstan's Steppe Geoglyphs, of which there are at least 260. This geoglyph is a ring formation with a diameter of approximately 80 metres. This ring is made from 25 individual earthwork mounds, each with a diameter of approximately 7 metres. The configuration of the site is nearly identical to the Bestamskoe Ring. Similar sites in Kazakhstan have been dated to approximately 800 BC using optically stimulated luminescence.
I discovered this site using predictive modelling in Google Earth back in 2022, although it is very probable that this site has already been discovered by Dimitriy Dey, possibly as early as 2007. If Dimitriy ever gets in contact with the Megalithic Portal, the ancient site should be renamed to match whatever name he might already have on record.
This geoglyph is just about visible using Google Maps or Google Earth. A much better image can be obtained when looking at the location through Bing maps.
