Archaeologists have uncovered a six-inch stone penis. The phallus was during excavations at a medieval fortress in south west Spain.
The objective of the dig has been to discover the use of a large structure that was erected inside the courtyard at the Meira tower in the Ría de Vigo, Galicia. This area is described as densely populated and one of the economic engines of the region, therefore resulting in a notable number of archaeological sites that can be found.
However, the Arbore S.Coop.Galega archaeological team said the most surprising discovery at the fortress was made when two archaeologists located the stone penis in one of the levels of destruction of the tower. They believe the "strange find" can been interpreted as a sharpening stone, possibly for sharpening weapons.
