Polissoirs de Coinche, Prehistoric grooves in Chantecoq, France.
The site contains two fixed polishing stones made of fine Ypresian sandstone, with one featuring three grooves, five basins, and a polishing surface.
The prehistoric site, which includes polishing stones and a menhir, was officially designated as a classified historical monument in December 1986.
These Neolithic polishing stones reflect the early human settlements in the Loiret department and their methods of tool creation and refinement.
The polishing stones are located at coordinates 48.0649° N and 2.9764° E, near other megalithic structures in the Centre-Val de Loire region.
A third movable polishing stone was discovered in 1982 near the menhir, adding to the archaeological value of the site.
