    Tips

    Menhirs is a Breton name of Celtic origin and means "long stone", also known as the name "Hinkelstein", a misunderstood derivative of Hünenstein on chicken stone to the pure Frankish Hinkelstein. These stones are made of quartzite, granite, sand or lime and were once around 5000 years BC. Erected upright. The menhirs had a cultic-religious function. (Lit. Detert Zylmann, The Menhirs)
