I finally managed to locate and visit this site and what a site it is. I spoke to the farmer who owns the land and was given permission to enter the field once the cows had been moved. The Menhir is in a fabulous setting, nestled near the bottom of a valley on a steep slope, it stands like a beacon at 3mtrs tall and of a light coloured granite that shone in the autumn sunshine.
There are 3 distinctive sides to the stone all covered in a light lichen and undamaged.
I found the site to be quite atmospheric and was sad to leave such a wonderful untouched and peaceful place.
I have explored this area a lot and this is by far the best site I have found. I am trying to build a rapport with the farmer/landowner to get more regular access to this site.
