Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature in Finland

The largest of the Helsinki 'Devil's Pohotles', and the oldest. Between 50,000 and 100,000 years old (or more). If my understanding is correct there are two potholes here, one has a maximum diameter of 6.9 meters, maximum depth of 8.45 meters and the other has a diameter of 1.6 meters and a depth of 3.2 meters.
