The stone was an object of shamanic belief together with the village's guardian tree (dangsan tree). People addressed prayers to the stone, asking for a child or for protection against misfortune.

One face of the stone bears an inscription reading 불암나무아미타불관세음보살, which gives the stone a Buddhist character as well.

A menhir, also called a standing stone, is a large upright stone placed by humans. Menhirs stand singly or in groups, vary greatly in size and often taper toward the top. They are found across Europe, Africa and Asia. Theories about their purpose remain speculative and include rituals, territorial markers and elements of an ideological system.
