A holey stone next to the church in Aizier, France, holds an unusual secret. This stone, 1.8 meters wide, 1.5 meters high, and 0.22 meters thick, was once a partition wall in a corridor of an ancient megalithic tomb. The tomb was located 50 meters south-east of the church’s chancel of St. Pierre. The holey stone is now next to the church. It was heavily crafted by human hands, with a conical, oval-shaped hole in its centre, 0.53 meters in diameter externally and 0.47 meters internally. The monument dates back to the Neolithic Age, but no trace of the tomb was found when it was demolished in the 19th century. The holey stone was inscribed as a historical monument in 1999.
