Menhirs de la Casa Cremada
The Menhirs de la Casa Cremada are two stone monoliths east of Roses in Catalonia ( Spain ). They are only imprecise to 4000–2000 BC. Can be dated BC and are located on the Torre del Satre plateau , an area with olive trees and fields that are delimited with dry masonry .
Menhir Casa Cremada 1
Location: 42 ° 15 ′ 51.6 ″ N , 3 ° 11 ′ 41.5 ″ E
The menhir, about 2.4 meters high and 0.9 meters wide at the base, is a block of gneiss with a triangular cross-section. It has a white quartz vein that runs through the stone to the point on the east side. The stone seems to have received its shape through processing.
Menhir Casa Cremada 2
Location: 42 ° 15 ′ 42.4 ″ N , 3 ° 11 ′ 43.7 ″ E
The menhir, about 2.2 meters high and 0.8 meters wide at the base, is a slender stele with a triangular cross-section. It was discovered by geologist Charles Roqué in 1998 and has never been scientifically investigated. He fell over and was raised again in 1999. The base of the stone was broken and has been restored. It was probably still upright at the beginning of the 20th century.
Menhir Casa Cremada 3
