MINER 1 Site: EfOo-10
Type: Medicine Wheel - Group 3 Status: Undisturbed
Region: Alberta, Canada Location: (protected)*
Record: Survey (protected)* File: (protected)*
Site Plan & Local Topography:


Setting: Located north of the Red Deer River, occupying the prairie level adjacent to the valley rim with an extensive view.
Brief: A 5m diameter central cairn encircled by an irregular 15m diameter stone circle. There is a 2.2m E and a 1.2m SE wheel opening. The SE opening is marked by two spokes radiating outward; the N one is 30m long and ends in a small cairn after passing through a well-defined stone circle, and the S one is 9m long and also ends in a small cairn. There are seven other spokes with lengths between 4.5 and 9m. Four of these end in large stones, and one in a small cairn.
Design: The complexity and undisturbed nature of Miner 1, along with its nearby companion sites, make it one of the most important medicine wheels to analyze comprehensively.
