A stone like a helmet. It is said that a round shaped stone like Cobb comes out on the surface after it rains.


I feel like clay adhered properly.


Even local people seem to be touched by the shape of the stone formed after the heavy rain. The center part of "Trovant" is a hard stone, but the surface is composed of sand, and many "Trovant" are found in sandy areas.
