Standing Stones in Central Portugal
Update March 2015.
The two slender stones are definitely not in their original place, and not really convincing as menhirs. Presented as "menires" on panels erected at each entrance of the village, as well as twice in their vicinity, we shall stick to that traditional name. Stones are commonly used as marker stones and fences.
