This interesting stone called Baba (Old Woman)
rediscovered like a menhir by J. Helšus at the beginning of the eighties can be found 950 m northwest of the church in Slavětín right on an old field route very close to not too aged basswood.
Its illustration comes from the year 1932.
It consists of coarse-grained brown stone with quartz pebbles, and is 1,7 m high.
Its estimated mass is 2 tonnes.

The history of this stone is not known for now.

In 1896 an alleged reseach has been carried out that should have had unveiled the stone being very deeply embedded in the ground with its undeground part almost the same as the aboveground one.

This information is cited from the book Czech megalits by
R. Šarič, P. Štepánek.

We only know sometime in 17.^th century a cross had been set into the stone which might have caused less attention attracted. Following World War II. somebody broke the cross from the stone.
