On the eastern side, there are six menhirs forming an alignment. The menhirs, carved from granodiorite and, in general roughly shaped, present a varied morphology, some having been decorated with motifs, engraved or in relief, namely circles, wavy lines, cup-marks and crozier shapes. Others were leveled during the Late Neolithic period, fixed in a stellar form, and decorated with anthropomorphized compositions in relief, where a face and a half-moon collar can be discerned. ... it was built and used during the Middle and Late Neolithic periods (5th and 4th millennia BC).” Description from: The Megalithic Portal. https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=14608
