Modern Stone Circle / Monolith in Canada
I've worked on this circle for ten years, making observations, lugging stones around. It is 30m in total diameter, flattened on the southeast with a variant recumbent stone with flankers. The summer solstice sunrise stone is marked with a huge boulder of marble, with an anthropomorphic face that looks as though it is staring off towards the heavens. A stone cist in front of the recumbent stone has yet to be filled. The circle still contains a 7m wide firepit that will be covered over by a cairn when the circle is finished.
The tallest stone, the left flanker, measures 3 feet 4 inches tall, while the shortest stones, along the northwestern arc of the circle, vary between 8-10 inches above the ground.
