Medomiškių akmuo
Medomiškių akmuo submitted by Alta-Falisa : No wonder such stones were used as landmarks up to a no-so-distant-past. June 2015. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Natural Stone in Lithuania, used as marker stone.

Random stone at an T-junction to serve as a landmark before the advent of road maps, let alone navigators. This practice was extremely common. In the course of time, the stone has most probably been raised up at the place where it lay "since ever".

Medomiškiai is a place (a few farmsteads) about 1 km to the South along road 2310.
