foz750 visited on 18th Aug 2023 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 3 I visited this site in on a hot sultry evening and the ambiance was superb, us me,the stones and two deer for company. The was no one around so I quickly nipped across the farmers field to see this 4 mtr stone.

TheCaptain couldn't find on 29th Aug 2005 I couldn't easily find this one, nor anywhere to park to have a proper look. It is not very near to the road, and so I left.

**La Pierre au Diable** submitted by davidmorgan : A four metre tall granite menhir situated among groups of stones which may well be a ruined allée couverte and a dolmen, by the looks of them - difficult to tell since they are covered with undergrowth and trees. (Vote or comment on this photo)

We asked permission from the farmer in his yard at La Moussadière to walk across his pasture land.
