Standing Stone (Menhir) in Liguria
Medium sized triangular menhir on side of Hill, just below Ceresa Menhir 2 near the Monte Beigua. Believed to be part of a sanctuary consisting of several nearby celtic Ligurian sites including Della Biscia Dolmen and the Monte Beigua Strada Megalitica. Comment by McGlen On the left side of the menhir, there are two rectangular engraves, the lower engrave is smaller than the other one. The biggest engrave are about 10 cm length and 5cm large
