An excavation in 2001 revealed its age to be Neolithic. DescriptionThe standing stone, or "menhir", is 3 metres high, 0.7 metres wide, and weighs around 4 tonnes.[1] It is made from sandstone and owes its yellow-brown colour to its high iron content.[1] It appears to have been shaped to give it an "anthropomorphic" form.[2] HistoryThe stone was buried for centuries until 1978 when it was identified by members of the "Friends of Old Mersch" association.[1] It was re-erected 30 metres from its original location.[1] In 2001, an archaeological excavation was undertaken by the National Museum.[1] The excavations which uncovered the original foundation pit confirmed the antiquity of this megalithic monument, and showed it to be Neolithic.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite web|url=http://www.mersch.lu/4c%20Mersch%20%20vestiges%20pr%C3%A9historiques.pdf?FileID=publications%2F4c+mersch+-+vestiges+pr%C3%A9historiques.pdf|title=Vestiges et témoignages préhistoriques|publisher=Commune De Mersch, Informations Touristiques|access-date=12 March 2017}} 2. ^1 {{Cite book|title=Préhistoire et protohistoire au Luxembourg|first=Foni|last=Le Brun-Ricalens|year=2005|page=119|isbn=2879850606|publisher=Musée National d'Histoire et d'Art (Luxembourg)}} 2 : Archaeological sites in Luxembourg|Mersch |
