Ōitai submitted by Aska : Ōitai dolmen and standing stone (Vote or comment on this photo)
A flat stone and a short standing stone remain in a field between a railway and a road. These are believed to be the dolmens of a residential remain called Ōitai Iseki (大板井遺跡).

According to their signpost, these stones were worshiped as a local god called Ishizakisan or Ishizakihan down to 60 years ago.
