Brittonic languages
A menhir (from Brittonic languages: "maen" or "men", "stone" and "hir" or "hîr", "long"), standing stone, orthostat, or lith is a large man-made upright stone, typically dating from the European middle Bronze Age. They can be found individually as monoliths, or as part of a group of similar stones. Menhirs' size can vary considerably, but often taper toward the top.
