From a notice at the site: Enclosure A was discovered in 1995 and excavated from 1996 to 1997. There had been no more excavations until today’s visible condition. The main features are the T-shaped megalithic pillars. Sometimes arms and hands are depicted on the pictures, which can be recognized as stylized anthropomorphic beings. There are always two in the centre of an enclosure. Important are the reliefs of the two central pillars P1 and P2 depicting a net made of snakes above a ram and a vertical row of a bull, a fox and a crane.
