It's a huge block of flint from 2.70 to 2.80 meters height from approximately 1.50 meter in the ground. Its width is 2 meters and its thickness from at least 1 meter.
A legend tells that the devil let it fall from a very great height and it penetrated the earth deeply.
Another legend tells that it could perhaps have been the center of an entire enclosures made up of blocks inserted into the ground. |
