The Pierre du Pôt menhir has been removed from its original position, and re-erected in the Arboretum at Ussy, right beside the main street an the entrance to the sports centre. It is a nicely shaped stone, and is about 2.5 metres tall.

I found this remarkably easily, travelling thriugh Ussy past the school, and I pulled off the road into a large parking area to look at the village map on the street nearby. Lo and behold, I had pulled into the sports centre, and the stone was standing there right in front of the car!
