This paper discusses a carved stone found in El Lomo, a prehistoric settlement near Cogolludo (province of Guadalajara) in central Spain. The natural shape, of the stalagmitic rock from which the idol of Cogolludo was made resembled some prehistoric pebbles in which a man-made mark along the middle suggests they were connected with some kind of fertility rite; in the case of the idol from El Lomo, this intention was reinforced by decorating the top of the stone with a perpendicular carving, making it resemble a horned idol. The symbolic pieces are gene rally associated with Eneolithic ritual practices. The Cogolludo carving was found in a pit associated with potsherds corresponding to the first period of the site's occupation (El Lomo I). This phase is C-14 dated to about 2100 B.C
