The Yuzhnoukrainsk Cromlech (Южнобужский кромлех) in southern Ukraine looks like a round barrow with kerb stones or a chambered cairn. On an area of about 100 square meters, twelve rings made of stone were found, thought to date to the middle Neolithic. Its entire form is made of stone hidden under a layer of soil apart from the visible stones sticking out, Thanks to this its shape has been well preserved, the spiral corridor inside was once perfectly visible. According to stories of the old-timers, there used to be rumours that once there was a large stone or an idol in the center of the cromlech.
