    Description

    This is a rounded granite block located in the river's floodplain. The rock has a natural surface with rounded shapes (similar to a "cornbread crust"). Taking advantage of these natural characteristics, seven small depressions were carved into the top of the block. Subsequently, a cruciform (cross shape) was carved over the original markings, indicating that the site was reused at different times.
