Solar Calendar "Circle". The stone circle was first discovered by Orthodox monks from the Alexander-Nevsky Holy Mount Athos Zelenchuk Monastery about two hundred years ago. The object has an inner diameter of 88.5 meters and a wall thickness of 2.2 meters. Before the excavations began, it looked like a circular earthen rampart about half a meter high. Research on the solar circle continues intermittently to this day to expand our understanding of its history and significance.
