Local name Ke kamenu (Towards the Stone) about 1 km eastward from Miletice village; on the cadastral map from year 1840 there is another spot about one kilometer more to the south named similarly, i.e. K kamenu. It is contentious whether these are identifications of places for stone collections, or for occurrence of menhires. ???
