Earthwork Burial Circle No. 2 measures approximately 75 m in outer diameter and 34 m in inner diameter. The difference in elevation between its central part and the embankment is approximately 5.4 m – the largest among the group of earthworks. This burial circle is thus distinguished from the remaining earthworks by the difference in elevation.
