Abstract
We bring to light the discovery of a new tall menhir, currently laid on the ground, away from its primitive erection site, in Vale de Naçarães, southwest Fontelo village (Armamar, Viseu) allowing some considerations. It is a monolith sculpted with local granitic rock, subcylindrically shaped, but presenting pointed extremities, measuring 5.32 m long and 1.18 m in maximum width. The exposed surface shows three engraved cup-marks, one near the top and two paired on the mesial volume, as well as at the central area four large pecked concentric circles, containing on its inside a fifth circle, smaller and not centred with the larger ones. Other cup-marks were detected, but all the engravings are much eroded and were possibly made when the menhir was already down. This kind of monuments was probably built in the 5th millennium B.C., when the first passage graves appear in the region. The large dimensions of this monolith, when erected allowed his viewing from a far distance thus ordaining the surrounding space. The authors propose that this menhir to be re-erected and signalised through explanatory board on his historical and archaeological importance.
在Fontelo村西南部(aramar, Viseu)的Vale de na ar es,我们发现了一个新的高大的menhir,它目前位于地面上,远离原始的安装地点,允许一些考虑。这是一块用当地花岗岩雕刻而成的巨石,呈近圆柱状,但有尖尖的末端,长5.32米,最宽1.18米。暴露的表面上有三个雕刻的杯印,一个靠近顶部,两个配对在中间的体量上,在中心区域有四个大的有喙的同心圆,在它的内部有第五个圆,较小,不以较大的圆为中心。其他的杯印也被发现了,但所有的雕刻都被侵蚀得很厉害,很可能是在石碑已经落下的时候刻的。这种纪念碑可能建于公元前5千年,当时该地区出现了第一批通道坟墓。这个巨石的大尺寸,当他竖立起来时,允许他从很远的地方观看,从而确定了周围的空间。作者建议重新竖立这座石碑,并通过解说板说明其历史和考古重要性。
