An 18-foot stone standing quietly for nearly three millennia doesn’t require exaggeration; its presence alone is a command for silence and respect.

This monumental menhir is part of a larger megalithic stone alignment and stands as one of the most significant discoveries we have documented. Given its sheer scale, antiquity, and precise placement, there is a compelling case for this site to receive national-level recognition and protection.
