A widely overlooked standing stone / menhir in the Province of Luxembourg, Belgium. As far as can be traced, this stone originally laid near a spring, on the edge of a pool, about 1000 m to the North.
At the end of the 19th century, it was in the bed of the Ourthe River, about 200 m to the South of its present location. Pronounced a menhir in 1976, it was then erected at its present location, along the road, in the village of Renaumont.

This standing stone is not mentioned in any other easily accessible reference.
Height : 3,30 m ; the stone is rather thin for a menhir.
