Look at the capitel: one of its faces has a five-pointed star, surrounded by a four-lobe frame. The short column and granite shot hold the memory of Abadim as municipal couto, with foral granted by D. Manuel I in 1514.

The date of the stone remains open. The Ulysses note admits a quintentist origin linked to the foral, but it is clear that the pillory may be much later. It is classified as Immobile of Public Interest since 11 October 1933. Do not confuse this classification with the date of construction.
