The stone is clearly visible in a field accessible via the southeast road out of the village.[1] The stone is 7.5 feet (2.3 m) high, made of limestone and has natural holes in it. Tradition suggests that passing infants through one of the holes will cure them of illnesses such as measles or whooping cough.
