The menhir erected at the entrace of a village in Okcheoon County is believed to be a corporeal manifestation of a sentry god that keeps off disaters, or a guardian angel that ensures the village has rich harvest and peace. There is a semi-circle inscribed on the lower body of the menhir. Some of specialists tell us it symbolizes a pregnant woman.
