A dolmen or trilithon type structure near the village of Eleshnitza, Razlog region consisting of two large vertical stones (posts) supporting a third stone set horizontally across the top. The trilithon is still used to perform magical practices and rituals.
The rituals carried out there are related with passing-through the opening of the megalith. Megaliths of this type often are located on sacred territory of the monastery or in the area of an abandoned pagan sanctuary. In both situations megaliths continue to be used by people to perform rituals that carry the spirit of ancient pagan beliefs.
