Site Plan & Local Topography:

Setting:        On  gently  undulating prairie  near  the edge  of bluffs  overlooking  Many  Islands  Lake  basin.

Brief:             A  2.5m  diameter,   0.20m  high,  central  cairn  encircled  by  a  deeply-buried  oval  circle. Six  spokes  radiate  from  the  circle  out to  between   18  and   135m.   The  spokes  aren't straight and  don't terminate  in  cairns.  At least two  other  spokes  lie  to  the  SE  but do not connect  with  the  circle.   Shorter  stone  lines  bifurcate  from  the  spokes.  Many  small stone  rings  and  cairns  are  in  the  vicinity.  

Design:         Many Island Lake is a large, complexly-featured site.  The degree to which it remains undisturbed provides an opportunity for a much more detailed mapping and analysis program.
