Standing Stone (Menhir) in Bohemia. Quite discrete menhir made of rough limestone on the top of the hill "Hradiště" above the Berounka river. The name of the hill can be easily translated as "The Hillfort" and is related to the large La Tène Oppidum, which existed here two thousand years ago. For the details see the topic Oppidum Stradonice.
I couldn't find any additional information about the stone itself so I rather tend to speculate about the modern origin of the stone. Anyway the stone is about 80 cm high and can be found almost in the middle of the former ancient Celtic city within the area of acropolis. The place is the part of the signposted tourist trail and seems to be very popular.
