The bits of pottery, pieces of plaster and metal tools discovered, concentrated mainly around the upright stone blocks, are evidence for the cult rituals implemented here. This cult facility was functional for a long period of time. Cult rituals were also implemented here during the Late Iron Age (5th-1st Century BC). Single findings prove that the Cromlech was worshiped during the Middle Ages as well.Two smaller facilities, built of stones arranged in circle, are situated south of the Cromlech. Additionally, traces of child burials by cremation were found at this site. Analysis of the materials showed that the cremation was carried out elsewhere and then the ashes were brought here and laid in the sacred circles.
The findings discovered during the archeological studies show that the Cromlech was used for a long period of time; it was used long after the introduction of Christianity as an official religion for the local population.The Cromlech is significant and possesses unique cultural-historic value because nowadays it is the only preserved megalith monument of its kind in the Bulgarian territory. Nearby (1km northwest) is situated the ridge Taushantepe where another Thracian cult place is registered.
