It shows several cups and grooves on its north face, a few on the south face. A deeply carved groove runs over both faces.
It has been "Christianized" by engraving a cross on the south side
May be slightly inclined compared to its original position.
Original description by LaDragonne: Joli menhir situé non loin du château de la Rode et du hameau des Rivals , sur la commune de Lagardiolle, sur la limite de commune Lagardiolle / Lempaut. 1m50 de haut, 1m10 de large et 20cm d'épaisseur. Présente de nombreuses cupules et rainures sur sa face nord, quelques unes sur la face sud. Une rainure particulièrement marquée concerne les deux faces.
A été "christianisé" grossièrement (gravure d'une croix sur la face sud)
Est peut-être légèrement incliné par rapport à son érection initiale.
