Snap StoriesThe Stone Circles, Odry, Poland
The area where the circles are located is an archaeological reserve. They are the oldest structures of this type in Europe, after the English Stonehenge. The structures have the shape of regular circles marked by vertically protruding large boulders, the so-called stelae. They were erected when the cemetery was established and it can be assumed that they served as meeting places for tribal elders. They are usually devoid of graves. They are from 15 to 33 m in diameter. Each circle has from 16 to 29 stones protruding from the ground by 20 to 70 cm.
In addition to the circles, there are also barrows in the reserve. Over 600 graves have been discovered in the circles and barrows. This is a cemetery of the Goths, who came to Pomerania from Scandinavia in the 1st - 3rd century AD.
