Fine cup-marks on a mountain. A little bit down from the summit northward, these cup-marks are dug on a outcrop with a fine view of the U Liamone river delta and San Giusepe-Liamone beach.
The archaelogists suppose that such cup-marks were used as mortar to grind cereals, but Monte Lazzo is situated on a mountain with sea breeze. Some rituals or sacrifices might have been dedicated.
