This stone looks more like a capstone than a polissoir. It can be found in a hedge, surrounded by vineyards.
You can see it on this webpage.
Our French fairy Mélusine is also passed here!
This stone has been excavated and made the object of a booklet Découverte et description d'un polissoir, dit la Pierre du Terrier de Babelot, à légende, dite des Pieds de la Fée Mélusine, commune d'Aumagne (Charente Inférieure).
