Standing Stone (Menhir) in Limburg
A stone, found in a field nearby, placed in front of the museum. Sinte-Gitter is the name of a spot North of the Motte van Pepijn. No further information.
Though this stone has all the characteristics (overall shape, type of stone) of regional menhirs, is it by no means certain that it has ever been used as such -- but it could very well have been.
