Not a living place, but a stone circle near their living space. Those who built it were humanoids, not homo sapiens. Think “Lucy.” Its anyone’s guess why they did the work of creating a stone circle near where they lived. I like to believe that they had some form of fertility cult rituals, and a circle was the natural shape for a ritual space.

They used a special flour for it, and some modern trads use salt. This thread uses academic sources about it: http://enenuru.proboards.com/thread/28?page=1

I think they also called corners, but it was the four winds, instead of watchers. Pretty weird that it goes back that far, eh?
