Description
State archaeological heritage (State Inspection for Heritage Protection, No 505). The stone is located in a meadow; the meadow is mown; next to the stone there are several more small stones. In the middle of the meadow next to the stone there is quite a long plot of land overgrown with small fir-trees. A plot of land with small hillocks. Nearby are the Veselava manor house, Jaunrauna manor house.
Narrative
No recorded folklore materials have been found. The local people cannot tell anything about the site.
Attraction
It is not really clear whether the right object has been identified, because the land proprietor provided no comments whether the stone has any relation to cult sites and whether it is not simply a bo
Availability
It is difficult to find it. Not a single indication sign. When taking an asphalted road, there is a stop “Ģūģeri”, not far from it there is a road leading into the forest. At the beginning of the road there is a barrier and a sign “Private Property”. At the next turn to the right there is the homestead “Kalna Piļas”, across the field owned by the homestead one can reach a gravel road leading to the stone. About 1 km before the Ģūģeri there is an inhabited place Pinderes — from there one can get back exactly to the same road by turning from the asphalted road to the right (there is no private property sign).
Infrastructure, management, facilities
No tourism infrastructure available. There is a mown meadow around, because it is privately owned land.

Comments
The Kampas-Ģūģeri Ancient Burial Ground and the stone are situated in a private property. The sign “Private Property” is only when driving from the Ģūģeri side, but from the Pinderes side nothing indicates that there is a private property. The land proprietor (he was met by chance — he was going home along the gravel road leading to the meadow where the stone is situated) was not particularly predisposed towards the unauthorized persons in his territory. Only having understood that the object was being searched for, he had no more objections (It partially proves that he is aware of the location of the object in his property, but he provided no further information).
