Site Plan & Local Topography:

Setting:        On  a  bajada  of the  Tortilla  Mountains,   2km east of Indian  Town  village  site. (Autrey  & Autrey  1981:81)

Brief:           A  circular  rock  alignment consisting of a  ring  40m  in  diameter  and  involving more than  800  stones  of coarse  granitic  structure.  Most of the  stones  are  imbedded horizontally  in  the  soil,  however  numerous  upright  stones  are  found  in  the  perimeter. Central  alignments  of stones  and  external  cairns  are  also  present.   (Autrey  & Autrey 1981:81)

Design:        This site is very far south; it's status as a Medicine Wheel might be questioned because of how distant it is from the main groupings of Medicine Wheels, but similarities in form and setting provide sufficient reason for inclusion.
