In that time, the menhir was laying inside an enclosure used for pigs.
Some years later (2004), I found it removed from its former location, due to the works of enlargement of the pig structures.
In a recent visit, I had a new surprise: the menhir was not in the place where I had seen it the last time, when I had drawn it and taken GPS references.
Looking around, I found it erected close a recently restored farmhouse, some 400 m apart.
This seems to be an undesired effect of the growing awareness of farmers, in megalithic areas, about that kind of archaeological evidences...
We expect now to have the permission of the farmer to remove it to a more convenient location.

Very like a menhir...

Como se o dito menhir fizesse mal aos porcos... Ao menos não o arrancou e o mandou fora ou o partiu, como já tem acontecido!
