EspañolSTATUE MENHIR
A 'statue menhir' is a type of carved standing stone created during the later European Neolithic.
They consist of a vertical slab or pillar with a stylised design of a human figure cut into it, sometimes with hints of clothing or weapons visible.
They are most commonly found in south and west France, Corsica, Italy and the Alps. A group from the Iron Age is also known in Liguria. There are two in Guernsey, ''La Gran' Mère de Chimqiere'', a highly-detailed example in the Parish of St Martin, and another known simply as ''La Gran' Mère'' in the Parish of Castel, an earlier example found buried underneath the parish church.
