Whatever it became , fanciful reconstruction , corral etc. who knows .What we do know is that it had a cinerary urn ,dated from the Middle Bronze Age ,containing cremated bone , buried in a pit and covered by a cairn , alongside were were two flint scrapers and a flint knife . Another pit containing a cremation was close to the pit and near the centre was a cist with a cup marked capston .A third pit was filled with stones and had another cup marked rock close to it. Nine stones , possibly not socketed but merely held in place by an embanked ring encircled the pits/cairn .The tallest stone was in the SW . All that adds to me as a ritual site unless of course all this cremated bone and marking rocks stuff was really an early form of Steinerian biodynamics and it was really a walled garden.

Tiompan, what I will state now is My personel understanding, through visiting similar sites.
If the bones/ashes were kept in a vessel, at a precise spot, this spot was then bombarded with a built up concentration of the earths energy.
This energy that travels on a series of lines emitting from luner bodies, the strongest line ,being aprox east /west, from the sun.
The exact precise reason this was done, has a few variable answers, these are difficult for our brains to now consider.
Rebirth, is the most probable, but I consider there are other possibles.

Fair enough and thanks. With those cremations present, I agree that the site is a sacred one.
