Anyone else think this has been deliberately shaped? If so anyone got any theories / reasons why? Looks a bit like a giant venus figure to me...

When I visited this site I noted that this stone. and the one next to it, looked to have been shaped, especially when compared to the other stones. It looked to me to represent the female form, although that might just have been my imagination! :)

Looks like a dead pig in the first image.

Sorry to deflate the romantic balloon there.

I'd go no. Looks to be natural and picked due to its bovine characteristics. 12 years and hundreds if not thousands of stones on from my previous post on the topic.
