It seems to be simply a préhistoric polisher.
Local legend has that the rock is the preserved footprints of Saint Martin, his staff and the feet of his horse. Used for fertility offerings until the 19th century, still known locally.
En lien avec le culte de saint Martin, une pierre dite Pierre du pas de Saint-Martin, au bord de la route de Bléré au nord du chef-lieu communal, était réputée, jusqu'au XIXe siècle, avoir conservé des empreintes des pas de ce saint, de son bâton ainsi que des pieds de son cheval. Il semble s'agir simplement d'un polissoir préhistorique
