Annotations

The Grzybnica Stone Circle I in the Wielbark culture necropolis is regarded as a  religious place. Nevertheless its function is not definitively confirmed. Some boulders have traces of rectangular squaring but each of them was surrounded at its base by a circumferential wreath of small field stones. The interiot of the circle consists of a triangular pavement with a stele. There were also remains of two sacrificial pyre?

The circle is 36 m in diameter, originally consisted of 33 (currently 20) vertically arranged boulders 1.2-1.5 m high.The boulders are spaced approx. 3.5 m apart from each other and each of them was surrounded at its base by a circumferential wreath of small field stones.
