An interesting point in the Dauborn facilities

The information board directly on the stone is no longer partially legible due to weather conditions.

The stone has references to its use by the Celts and more recent notches

The inscription on the plaque reads:

"Menhir

Celtic, long stone

Sacrificial and cult stone from the time around the birth of Christ. Found in the "Grauer Stein" field in Dauborn. Non-local rock material. Keratophyre. Probably from the Mensfelder Kopf (Mensfeld Head). Numerous shards of the Linear Pottery culture or the Michelsberg and Rössner cultures (ending Early Stone Age, around 2000 BC) were found approximately 3,100 m west of the site.

The scratched cross at the top right was probably placed by the first Christians in our area around the fifth or sixth century AD as a sign of victory over pagan customs."

There are many things wrong with this text: dating, spellings, terminology...perhaps, since it's already weather-damaged, we should consider a new plaque with the correct content...
