The vertical blocks are spaced at regular intervals, with smaller stones placed horizontally between them.[2] The circle has an internal diameter of about 10 metres. There is an entrance on the southeast side.[2] There are two smaller structures in the vicinity.[2] One is a 3-metre-wide oval enclosure constructed out of stones located around 15 metres southeast of the cromlech.[2] The other is a slightly larger oval enclosure of the same type, with a diameter of about 6 metres, located around 19 metres south of the cromlech.[2] ExcavationsThe site was discovered and excavated by Georgi Nehrizov in around 1998–1999.[1] The excavations uncovered decorated pottery, as well as bronze artefacts (a fibula and a pin).[3] These date the construction of the cromlech to the second phase of the Early Iron Age (8th–6th centuries BC).[3] The two stone enclosures were in use around the same time, and finds of burnt human bone suggest a funereal use.[2] The site continued in use into the late Iron Age.[2] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite web|title=Thracian sanctuary Cromlech|url=http://visit.guide-bulgaria.com/a/184/thracian_sanctuary_cromlech.htm|publisher=guide-bulgaria.com|access-date=12 March 2017}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 {{Cite book|title=A Companion to Ancient Thrace|page=133|first1=Julia|last1=Valeva|first2=Emil|last2=Nankov|first3=Denver|last3=Graninger|year=2015|publisher=Wiley & Sons|isbn=1444351044}} 3. ^1 {{Cite book|title=Technology, style and society: contributions to the innovations between the Alps and the Black Sea in prehistory|first=Lolita|last=Nikolova|year=2000|page=322|publisher=Archaeopress}} External links{{Commons category inline|Cromlech near Dolni Glavanak}} 3 : Archaeological sites in Bulgaria|Megalithic monuments in Europe|Tourist attractions in Haskovo Province |
