Main block of the Roche gravée de Moho

The Roche gravée de Moho is a monument historique in the French overseas territory of Saint-Martin .

The site consists of several engraved boulders . The eponymous main block, which has 80 depressions, is made of gray diorite . The top of this block has three large conical cavities with hemispherical bottoms, two of which are adjacent. The surface of these cavities is regular and smooth. On the periphery of the site there are shards of colonial ceramics as well as rare shards of pre-Columbian ceramics that are likely related to the engraved rock.

The site was protected in 2012 with the status of "Classé".
