Pierre aux Moines, Neolithic menhir in Clamart, France
The Pierre aux Moines stands in the Clamart Forest measuring 2.20 meters in height with a width varying from 2.10 meters at its base to 0.70 meters at its summit.
The megalith was initially misidentified with another stone, the Pierre de Chalais, during the 19th century, leading to a historical confusion that persists in various documentation.
The stone features an engraving in the shape of a U on its north-northeast face, potentially representing a collar symbol of the funerary goddess.
The archaeological site includes additional fallen blocks nearby, including a sandstone slab measuring 1.85 by 1.60 meters with an average thickness of 0.42 meters.
The slightly flattened top of the menhir results from centuries of use as a knife sharpening stone by local inhabitants.
