Misc. Earthwork in Slovakia
I have visited this site a few times. It is of course of immense religious significance to the people of Slovakia, plus it has ancient runes on the external walls.
However if one looks at the site there is to my opinion remains of an earthen circle with what appears to be almost perfect East-West alignments. There appears evidence of earthen works?
There are shaped stones laid on the grounds that are within the circle that to my mind are ancient stones that have been Christianised and laid flat.
