Menir do Outeiro, Prehistoric stone monument near Outeiro, Portugal
The granite monolith stands 5.6 meters tall with a diameter of one meter, making it one of the largest stone structures in Reguengos de Monsaraz.
Archaeologists Henrique Leonor Pina and José Pires Gonçalves discovered the fallen menhir in 1969, restoring it to its vertical position around 1970.
The stone structure features a 30-centimeter hollow at its top, representing fertility symbols common in Neolithic and Chalcolithic period monuments.
Located between Outeiro and Barrada villages, the archaeological site remains open throughout the year for visitors exploring Portuguese megalithic structures.
This granite monolith weighs approximately 8 tonnes and stands as the second largest menhir discovered in Portuguese territory.
