Möglicherweise stellten die Menhire Fruchtbarkeitssymbole dar, denn noch in christlicher Zeit legten Menschen an den Menhiren Gaben ab, um eine gute Ernte zu erbitten.
Perhaps the menhirs were fertility symbols, for even in Christian times people still offered gifts there to ask for a rich harvest.
