An 'avatar' of the local Cernovii (possibly 'horned ones') iron age tribe as suggested seems quite credible.

Can't find any info on its physical size, but similar stones are often boundary markers carrying the implicit message 'Our land. Trespassers may be poked with a pointy thing and ritually garrotted.'
