Sadly, no :(
I just took it from a website.
To make up for this lack of coolness, I can add that it is most probably an hodologic map, aka a map showing journeys more than places. It is the same style as the ones drawn by modern-day nomadic populations, and it has been correlated with significant statistical significance to the Monts d'Arrée (Menez Are) in Brittany.
Here's the elaboration!
The stone is about 2m20 wide and was found in a Bronze Age tumulus in Leuhan (Brittany, France). It was most probably engraved with a piece of quartz.
It seemed to be a map because the lines draw a grid, or a net, and the patterns don't overlap, or if they do it's not much. Moreover, some lines were overdrawn a few times, which can indicate a will to complete it years later.
The part that is pointed towards us seems to match with the topographic map of Menez Are. On the "bottom" side on this pic, you can see a sort of rock bubble, and then two longitudinal creases. The second one could very well be Odet, a river that passes by my town :D The "U" symbols could be the meanders of another river, the Aulne. It was compared with maps drawn by touaregs and indigenous people from New Guinea, and not only are the shapes similar, the accuracy is too.
Compared to our geographic maps, hodologic maps look more fluid, less "crammed", as they indicate paths and not places.
