Note to editor: Could you add Schalenstein Chaltenbrünnen as an alternate name and change the coordinates to 47.06595, 7.36012 accuracy 4? According to http://www.ssdi.ch/Inventar/BE/3257.01.pdf the stone was moved in 1934.

This probably refers to what is called the Schalenstein Chaltenbrünnen. It was originally found on the Chaltenbrünnen hill and is now in an ornamental garden at Dorfstrasse 14, Grossaffoltern
