Site 4, the whale-back with the covered terrace on the left. On the 6th of June 2004 we carefully unearthed the terrace.

The unearthed terrace has a bended surface, just like a bridge, with the highest point near the middel of the panel.

Site 4, the North end of the panel with the cup and one ring and seven or eight partial rings some ending in a cup. An unusual but wonderfull design.
