Aņģīši Devil’s Stone

State archaeological heritage (State Inspection for Heritage Protection, No 2484). A footprint stone associated with tales about the Devil that was held for the homestead’s master by the proprietors of the nearby Dreimaņi homestead. It is quite small, the dimensions of the surface: length of 1.3 m and 1.2 m. Nearby are other quite large stones, from which this one differs with seven enlarged sheep footprint reproductions. All footprints are placed in a 1 m long row. Some are deeper, others are shallower (length of 8–10 cm, width of 4.5–6 cm, depth of 1–3.5 cm). The stone used to be detonated. It is possible that footprint formations are of natural origin, but people levelled them out later on. The Aņģīši Devil’s Stone is a typical example of a Latvian footprint stone — not too large, footprint carvings are schematic, it is located in a remote place — in the woods or swamp. (J. Urtāns.
