    Boulder processed by human hands (stone of gray coarse-grained granite, chipped in the western part of the stone, up to 0.55 m high). A bowl is carved on top of the stone. Apart from the bowl, many natural pits are noticeable. In pagan times, the stone was considered sacred. A 30 m long strip of boulders of various sizes was laid next to it. Several stones with marks. It is said that this stone is sacred and gives health. In this picturesque environment, we will find the remains of the foundations of the Mergiškių manor, isolated greenery, and the "Kunigaikščių" hill (pagan cemetery) ending in the Mergiškii lake. Archaeological research has confirmed the presence of ancient village graves here.
