A former Stone Circle (?) ; more probably random stones.
At the end of the 19th century, nine stones were found on the Sint-Pietesberg (Mount St-Peter), near Maastricht, and moved downtown : two of them have been placed at the entrance of the way to the Natuurhistorisch Museum (Natural History Museum), five on the nearby small square Bosquetplein, the last two being lost (?).
The coordinates correspond to the five-stone set.
