They found antlers and beef bones? If there was empty whiskey bottles, then it was one of my family reunion sites.

The lack of any sign of habitation within the circle further strengthens the theory that it had a ritual use.

Ritual use? (sigh)... Why does it always have to be some kind of temple? A round berm and ditch enclosure sounds like a fortification to me.
