This recent discovery of a circular feature abutting the environment of ancient Meroe in the northern Sudan results in the need to review the structure's properties and what, if any, relationship it may have to ancient Egypt. The latitudinal placement and physical properties lend an air of curiosity as to the age and meaning of this particular stone-work circle. Other known structures of similar character in the region are compared. The intent is to provide a foundation through which further study of the artefact can bear fruit.
