Also known as: Piedra de las Cabras, Stone of the Goats

The Stone of the Goats (Galician: Pedra das Cabras) is a petroglyph located in a pine forest near the village of Figueirido, in the Barbanza Region of Galicia [1]. The zoomorphic motifs are scratched into the side of a large solitary rock and depict two animals, possibly goats [1]. Each animal has six legs, which might have been a deliberate choice to represent movement in the figures [1]. The engravings have been tentatively dated to the Neolithic [1].
