Dolni Glavanak Cromlech, Ancient stone circle site near Dolni Glavanak, Bulgaria

The megalithic monument consists of twelve stone blocks arranged in a circle measuring ten meters in diameter, with nine blocks standing vertically.

Archaeological excavations conducted in 1999 revealed over 2000 pottery fragments and metal objects dating from the Early Iron Age between 800-600 BC.

The cromlech site contains three separate stone circles that indicate advanced architectural planning and astronomical knowledge of ancient Thracian communities.

Visitors can reach the monument by following a twenty-minute footpath from the tourist center located between Topolovo and Dolni Glavanak villages.

The vertical stone blocks, made from local rhyodacite, measure between 1.2 to 1.5 meters in height with bases nearly one meter wide.
