In the village of Kovaičiai, within the Kruonis seniūnija of the Kaišiadorys district, lies a geological heritage object known as Kovaičių III. Located 2.1 km northeast of the 1819 Pakertai - Žostautai - Kalviai road, the stone sits near a gravel pit. The surrounding landscape is hilly and diverse, with soil that is stony in nature.
The stone was discovered in the fields and towed to a heap. It is notable for its characteristic curved shape with cracks and its height of 1.80 m. It sits near two other massive boulders. The dimensions of the stone are recorded as 2.75 m in length and 2.35 m in width.
In 2015, a black granite plaque was attached to the stone. This plaque serves to commemorate the volunteers of the village and the victims of the occupation. The site was officially declared a protected geological heritage object by the Kaišiadorys district municipal council on October 1, 1992.
