The ancient “winery” is situated on a slope in the area called the Big Burun, near the deserted village of Baldja.
The monument consists of a shallow basin chiseled in a single rock and furrows connected to it. It has an oval shape and its walls were well shaped; another smaller basin and a furrow for the pouring of the liquid. The furrow and the smaller basin are connected with the big one by a pierced opening in the edge of the big one. The diameter of the pool is 1.45m, and with its edge – 1.80m.
There are other similar monuments in the region (for instance, near rocky sanctuaries) with different shapes and sizes. There are two theories for the usage of these interesting monuments: according to the first, they were used for the production of wine; and according the second, they were used for ore output, for purifying the crushed ore with water. According to some theories, the wineries were synchronic with the megalith monuments (1st millennium BC) and were used for an extended period of time.
