Menhir la Pierre au Jô, Neolithic menhir in Pont-à-Mousson, France

Menhir la Pierre au Jô is a limestone menhir standing about 2.5 metres tall in a forest corner northwest of Pont-à-Mousson, on the edge of Norroy-lès-Pont-à-Mousson. Its block is roughly quadrangular, up to 0.60 metres thick, with a slightly rounded top and sides aligned with the cardinal points. The pale grey stone is pitted and speckled with dark patches, and its surface has several hollows, including a cluster of circular pits on the upper right side.

The menhir is recorded in old land registers of Norroy, which document it long before its protection. It was classified as a monument historique by decree published in the Journal officiel on 18 April 1914. Its limestone block was probably taken from an outcrop 800 metres away.

The menhir is also known as Pierre-au-Coq, a name that pairs the local word for the stone with "coq", rooster. It is recorded in old terriers of Norroy, the land registers in which this boundary stone between Norroy-lès-Pont-à-Mousson and Pont-à-Mousson was listed. The monument is classified as a Monument historique since the official journal of 18 April 1914.

The stone stands in a corner of forest northwest of Pont-à-Mousson, on the boundary of Norroy-lès-Pont-à-Mousson, so expect to walk the last stretch on woodland ground rather than find it beside a road. Approach from the Norroy side and look for the upright block among the trees.
