Like A 46 nearby, we found this disk unexpectedly while driving the Mesa Top Loop in Mesa Verde National Park. This is in a more standard round concrete monument close to the surface of the ground, unlike the high monument that A 46 is set into. Still, it was in close proximity to the sidewalk leading toward the pithouses, and was easy for us to spot. Given that there are two markers so close together, I suspect there are more, perhaps set around the pithouses for use in some archaeological projects. The disk and monument appear to be in very good condition.
