Four-sided granite menhir, overlooking the village of Brunels and the whole plain. Sadly it has been christianised in historic times and serves as support for a metal cross.
Easy access by the paths of the campsite in which it is located.
original description by LaDragonne:
Menhir de granite, à 4 faces, surplombant le village des Brunels et toute la plaine. Sert de support à un calvaire métallique qui l'endommage.
Accès facile par les allées du camping dans l'enceinte duquel il se trouve.
