Historic monolith, resembling those erected during the Celtic period of the region, before the 8th century BC. This appears to be a replacement, marked in the 20th century.

In the 8th century BC, Ligurians and Celts lived in our region. The stones were the object of worship and adoration. He was found a stone in HOUESVILLE. My passion led me to make some local elected officials aware of the importance of our heritage and this standing stone. Thus the dumping of the original stone (Ref DE GERVILLE) to a waste disposal center resulted in the erection of a semblance of stone called "the stone" (in the wrong place).
