The Stone of the Goats (Galician: Pedra das Cabras) is a petroglyph located in a pine forest near the village of Figueirido (civil parish of Palmeira, municipality of Ribeira), in the Barbanza Region of Galicia.
Description edit
The zoomorphic motifs are scratched into the side of a large solitary rock and depict two animals, possibly deer. Each animal has six legs, which might have been a deliberate choice to represent movement in the figures.[1] The engravings have been tentatively dated to the Neolithic.
