This trapezoidal trachyte block, now missing some of its original parts, has a rectangular cross-section. It was originally placed at the top of a Giants’ Tomb, above the entrance to the burial chamber. On its upper surface are three square holes, which most likely held three small baetyls made of stone or wood. (A baetyl was a sacred stone believed by ancient peoples to possess a divine spirit.) These three elements may have represented a divine triad. The artefact comes from the locality of Pranu Olisa and was recovered without an archaeological excavation.
