Fifty-two stone circles, one double circle and 1,102 carved stones.
Its use falls in four cycles: burials about 700-800 and 800-900, the inner monolith circle about 900-1000 when offerings replaced burials, then a fourth cycle about 1235-1427 with bones, turquoise beads and copper rings. On 1 January 1200 the site falls in the gap between the third and fourth cycles: an old sacred place, standing, perhaps visited, with no dated activity.
