Description

Menhirs are elongated stones set alone or forming long alleys. Only 6 of them are known in Bulgaria, one of which is located on the western slope of the hill just above the village of Petokladentsi, and the local population calls it a "pobit kamuk". It was placed over a mound, probably as a cult sign, and is a roughly chipped stone block with no visible signs of working, with an elongated, four-sided shape, narrowed at the upper end. Its height above the ground is 2.20m, but the currently the stone has its integrity compromised, with a piece missing from the top. According to prof. Dimitrina Jonova, the pagan cult monument has been reinterpreted as a Christian monument and is venerated as a vow under the name The Upright Stone.
