Large 30 Meter stone Circle at Dacian Hillfort in Romania.
The 2 inner circles are wood. Traces of the original roten posts where found and replaced. There is no information as to how tall the posts would have been.
The outside stone circle was largely broken to the lowest level by the romans. The inner stone circle consists of exactly 180 stones, with alternating 6 small stones and 1 large one.

Question - Is it always 6 small stones or is it sometimes 5
180 is not divisible by 7 so could you please tell me how many small and how many large stones - Thanx
