Circle B is the smaller of the two guachimontones excavated at Loma Alta.
Circle B has an overall diameter of 60 meters.
The construction of Circle B dates from 60 to 130 CE.
Circle B has only four platforms, but the presence of an altar sets it apart from Plaza IV.
Circle B is also lopsided, likely a result of constructing the guachimonton after the ball court and Circle A whilst being constrained by the narrow hilltop ridge.
One of Circle B’s platforms is shared with Circle A.
