Looking at a skeleton can be scary but there is more than that to human remains. Bones and skull were often associated with preservation of the body for afterlife and designed to form a connection between the generations, between the ancestors and the people who live today.

The circle is not evident as a stone circle anymore, but 27 holes on a ramped mound bear witness to its one time existence. It is time to rewrite the history books (again).
