Great Pierre d'Ellemelle
The Grosse Pierre d'Ellemelle (also called La Pierre du Diable, Menhir d'Ellemelle or Dolmen d'Ellemelle) is a menhir in the field west of Ellemelle near Liège in the province of Liège in Belgium .
The Grosse Pierre d'Ellemelle is a 0.5 m thick, approximately 7.0 m × 5.0 m measuring sandstone slab with a weight of more than 10 tons, possibly a menhir similar to the Pierre Brunehaut or the (destroyed) Leeuwensteen . A shallow cavity measuring 70 cm × 45 cm lies off-center on its surface.
According to older reports, it was a dolmen that was destroyed during the construction of the Ellemelle-Seny road in the second half of the 19th century. In any case, the stone was noteworthy enough to have been mentioned in the Atlas de Ferraris , compiled between 1771 and 1778.
