CharcoalBurner89 visited on 6th Nov 2023 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Presumed megalith. The origin of the stone (whether it really is a menhir or not) is not clear. But it looks nice in front of the museum.
During earthmoving works along the Rue des Menhirs, near the Carrefour des Sorcières in Wéris, a block of pudding-stone has been discovered in the summer of 2012.
The lack of evidence of any human activities around the stone has lead to the provisional (or final) conclusion that the stone is simply a random pudding-stone.
There being no reason to keep it in place, it has been re-erected on the lawn of the Maison des Mégalithes (see separate entry : Cercle historique).
