Location and description
The Hinkelstein is about 1 km southeast of Dautenheim on the Kloppberg just below the highest point. It originally marked the border between Dautenheim and the Huckenhof. Late Bronze Age finds were recovered 250 m to the north-west , which could point to destroyed burial mounds, a settlement or a sacrificial site.
The menhir consists of limestone , the place of origin of which the nearby valley slope could be identified. It has a heavily weathered, holey surface. It has a height of 100 cm, a width of 80 cm and a depth of 70 cm. It is irregularly shaped and has strongly rounded edges.
