The Karpetstein is an erratic boulder in Großenkneten (Lower Saxony/Germany). It measures 3.0 x 2.6 x 1.6 m. It contains two cup marks that may date from the Bronze Age.
According to a local legend, it is a so-called sliding block. Women that wanted to get pregnant were supposed to slide down the smooth surface of the stone so that their request would be met.
The stone lies on private property.
