Il n'y a pas d'autre emplacement de mégalithe dans le secteur comme le laisserait supposer le toponyme de la carte d'État-Major sur le quartier à quelques centaines de mètres au sud.
Auto Translation: A beautiful, very thin schist menhir with a nearly quadrangular cross-section marks the start of the municipal road known as Chemin de la Peyro Plantado. It is a few dozen centimeters from the road and was probably replanted 50 centimeters from its original location.
There are no other megalithic sites in the area, as the toponym on the Etat-Major map of the neighborhood a few hundred meters to the south would suggest.
