Nebosh

Halfway up a slope, below which a small spring is found, there is a cluster of megalithic blocks that form between them a roughly shaped trilithon (a composition of three rocks resembling an arch), with a narrow slit for crawling through. The slit is oriented east-west and is approximately 2.10 m long. Its average height and width are 0.50 x 0.50 m, and about 0.70 m at the widest part; at the lowest, western part the opening is narrowed by stones that have fallen into it. The total height of the structure is about 2.70 m, and approximately the same in width.

Behind the southern supporting stone, to the west, a stone cluster continues that has the features of rough megalithic construction. In front of the same southern stone two reinforcing blocks can be seen. The southern megalithic piece is an upright block 1.90 m high, and the total length of the structure from the south is about 3.5 m. The northern supporting megalithic piece is triangular, with a base width of about 0.90 m and a height of 1.0 m; the difference from the height of the southern piece is made up by the position and shape of the upper vaulting stone and by the fall of the ground. The upper vaulting stone has the shape of an irregular ellipse and is rather “wedged” between the two supporting stones. Seen from the south, the structure resembles a human figure whose face is turned to the east.

According to accounts by local people of the village, the rock arch at Eleshnitsa was also used for ritual and magical practices, mainly to cure fright. Evidence for this is the threads tied to the surrounding trees.
