Remarks

Remarks:

Only the top was discovered in U04; 3 distinct megalithic boulders lying flat without obvious connection; measurements are highly questionable because the orientation of the wall is uncertain; they are given here by stones labeled on Photo 344: Stone A: .6 x .2; Stone B: 1.32 x .95, orient 74 degrees; Stone C: .86 x .88, orient 95 degrees
