aerial photography looks like an oval shaped hill and can only be seen perfectly with an aircraft. It is a negative geoglyph and is in close proximity to the town of [[Sveti Nikole]].

The Kanda Geoglyph is a geoglyph located in the central parts of North Macedonia, near the town of Sveti Nikole in the Ovce Pole area.[citation needed] Aerial photography has shown that the geoglyph is an oval shaped hill and can only be seen perfectly from above.
In 2014 international researchers have investigated the geoglyph and concluded that the variance corresponds to the presence of a cavity inside the hill presumably only a few tens of meters beneath the surface.[citation needed] This last discovery already published in the international literature. It is believed that the hill at Kanda is a cairn with an inner chamber or that the hill was raised on top of an existing hill to form the cairn thus increasing its original height.[citation needed]
The Kanda Geoglyph is only a few kilometres from the Paeonian archaeological site of Bylazora. Some Macedonian archaeologists believe that the Kanda Geoglyph might be a tumulus containing a grave of a Slavic chieftain or an ancient Macedonian king. An aerial analysis using an infrared camera revealed a different composition of the soil in the hill compared to the surrounding soil.[1][better source needed]
Further Analysis
The researchers also found that using an instrument to measure infrasound vibrations, they noticed and were mostly likely aware that the existence of an underground water stream, deeper than the cavities complex is evident. This is only a hypothesis which should be confirmed by using geophysical survey techniques such as a ground penetrating radar.[2][better source needed]
