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.
