Slavetinsky menhir - Baba / The Beldame
Slavetinska baba se nachazi v polich mezi obci Slavetin a jeji zaleznicni zastavkou, pod lipou nedaleko maleho rybnika.
Materialem menhiru je zelezity piskovec, podle nekterych zdroju je kamen puvodem z udoli Deberskeho potoka.
Vyska menhiru je asi 1,7 m, hmotnost se odhaduje na 1,9 t. Doklady o kamenu pochazeji z let 1932, 1953 a 1981. Menhir dlouho unikal pozornosti odborniku, protoze v 17. stoleti byl do nej vsazen velky kriz - v teto podobe byl objekt vyobrazen jeste v roce 1932. Po druhe svetove valce byl kriz z kamene vylomen.
V roce 1896 zde byl udajne provaden vyzkum, ktery odhalil, ze kamen je hluboko zasazeny, pricemz jeho podzemní cast je temer stejne velika jako viditelna cast nadzemni. Pobliz mely byt nalezeny zbytky volutove, vypichane a snurove keramiky a ruznych keltskych ozdob.
