I have read in an old book that a menhir (same size) called "menhir des Landes" was lying about 100 metres south from the dolmen des Landes. I have looked for this stone but there is now a large corn field and absolutely no stone to be seen.
I suppose that this stone has been brought to this place recently. For the moment, it is still lying on the ground.
