Small triangular standing stone, in a open field near a wood rich of water springs. The shape of this rock resembles the Ceresa Menhir 1 but is a little smaller.

Big Flat Rock (Natural Rock Feature)

I found this rock at the end of Strada Megalitica.
This big stone have about 4 m diameter, but the particularity who attract me are his position.
