An adder stone is a small stone with a hole of natural origin, run by water, river or sea. In Britain, they are also known as hag stones, witch stones, or serpent's eggs. In Germany, they are called Hühnergötter, which translates to "chicken gods." In Egypt, they are referred to as aggri. Stones of this shape were believed to protect animals and dwellings from evil forces, making the adder stone an apotrope, or amulet.
