We investigate properties of a class of martingales formed by picking a measurable set A in a compact group G, taking random rotates of A, and taking measures of the resulting intersections, suitably normalized. Such martingales are shown to yield measures on G^\infty that are singular with respect to product Haar measure, and their ergodic decompositions with respect to the shift map are analyzed. Connections are made with De Finetti theory.
