What is recorded here

Three stones stand in a row on the north-facing slope above the Duvglasha River, their long axes set sideways like ribs rather than arrows. The tallest rises 2.3m at the east end, the smallest 1m at the west, spanning 8.3m of pasture. A cairn waits 35m to the south-southeast, as if the row belonged to a larger arrangement now lost. Whoever set them may have marked a boundary, a path, or a moment when the valley felt worthy of remembering.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the row of stones may have had ceremonial or ritual significance, possibly aligned with solar or seasonal events. Local folklore sometimes associates such stone arrangements with ancient funerary practices or territorial markers.
