Menhirs des Lattes
Menhirs des Lattes submitted by LaDragonne : little clearancce / un petit dégagement. earth/soil has been dumped on the site. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Group of stones with several cup-marks.

One of them was "upright". They are located at the edge of town, near a stream along a path between fields and the farm ‘Lattes’. The owner of the field moved the stones to the field boundary and (partly) covered them with soil.

Original description by LaDragonne:
Groupe de pierres comportant de nombreuses cupules. L'une d'entre elles était "levée". Situées le long d'un chemin desservant les champs et la ferme de Lattes. En limite de commune, à proximité d'un ruisseau.
Le propriétaire du champ les a déplacées en limite de parcelle et recouvertes de terre.
