Geometric carvings. Most of them are cross-shaped and some of them are framed with diamond-shaped lines.

Some scholars believe them as the symbol of fertility = female genitals. They say that there are other shape of curvings : round shaped, bow-and-arrow shaped.
Not far away from Santa Maria statue-menhir. Well-signposted.
