Northeast of the village, beside the path to Kozí hřbety, a damaged menhir with partly human features stands in dense vegetation near an old wooden cross under a solitary lime tree. The formerly difficult access was recently improved by clearing the undergrowth. This menhir belongs to the Slaný–Velvary area and, together with those at Slavětín and Dřínov, indicates the winter-solstice sunrise direction according to Dr Špůrek’s current research.
