Such a truly old stone with such a history, you just have to hug it.

The Vidal "menhir", originally considered as such by Lluís Marià Vidal in 1914, is actually an erratic block of granite with sculptures. After a more recent archaeological review, this block was found to contain engravings depicting an anthropomorphic central motif in the form of a Latin cross, among other elements. This discovery revealed symbolic wealth and established a connection with other prehistoric sites in the area, such as the Pedra dels Sacrificis in Capmany. The reinterpretation of this monument demonstrates the importance of constant revision of archaeological knowledge and interdisciplinary collaboration to better understand the past.

Menhir is a name borrowed from Breton for a prehistoric, towering stone block, also known as a menhir. In prehistoric archaeology, the word refers to an elongated single stone (Breton maen "stone" and hir "long") that was placed upright by people in prehistoric times. Identification as a menhir can often only be verified through an excavation. Upright stones also served as boundary stones

Lt. Wikipedia

Basically following Obelix on the heels (or wheels).
