Archaeological site
It is assumed that the 5.7-hectare earthwork was created between 4400 and 3600 BC.
It is a Neolithic (Neolithic) ditch-wall complex with five to nine gates. The ditches created a circular area of around 250 x 300 meters. In 2018, the earthwork was discovered from the air in a wheat field during an archaeological aerial survey. 

It is assumed that people gathered here at certain times or on ritual occasions.
