It is said at midnight, passing by, naked maidens had been seen lying on the hill, who combed their hair. Story about hidden money. Underneath the stone fragments from pots have been found.
Juris Urtans site-visited the stone on 25 May 2005 and he was shown the stone by Krisjanis Sams (born 1919), who recalled stories about hidden treasures underneath the stone and shards from dishes, which he had found at the stone. The stone is located on the right side of Serene – Nereta road, not far from the boundary of Daudzese parish.
