It weighs three tons and is 3 meters high, with 2.20 meters visible. About 5,000 years ago it was carried a distance of one km, until it was buried in the area of Los Juncales, in the town of Reinosilla (Valdeolea). It was carved out of sandstone conglomerate, a mass of compacted sand in which small encrusted pebbles can be seen. It is one of the 8 menhirs that make up the so-called Valdeolea menhirs route.
