The Menhir of Beisenerbierg is a three-metre-tall standing stone which stands on a hilltop at Reckange (;) in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. An excavation in 2001 revealed its age to be Neolithic.
The standing stone, or "menhir", is 3 metres high, 0.7 metres wide, and weighs around 4 tonnes.[1] It is made from sandstone and owes its yellow-brown colour to its high iron content.[1] It appears to have been shaped to give it an "anthropomorphic" form.[2]
The stone was buried for centuries until 1978 when it was identified by members of the "Friends of Old Mersch" association.[1] It was re-erected 30 metres from its original location.[1] In 2001, an archaeological excavation was undertaken by the National Museum.[1] The excavations which uncovered the original foundation pit confirmed the antiquity of this megalithic monument, and showed it to be Neolithic.[2]
