Duobgirių akmuo
Duobgirių akmuo submitted by Alta-Falisa : Note the two (seemingly man-made) basins on the top. June 2015. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature in Lithuania

In the past, boulders were usually used as landmarks along a road, or at a cross-roads or T-junction.
The main feature of this stone are the two most probably man-made basins dug in the top, a "not uncommon" feature of the region.

Duobgirė is the name of a nearby spot, not signposted. Duobgirių akmuo is not mentioned anywhere that I know.
Being the second noticeable stone along road 4613 (counted from A11/E272 linking Šiauliai to Klaipėda), I also tentatively called it "Road 4613 Akmuo II".
