foz750 visited on 4th Mar 2024 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 I visited today and was impressed with this singular menhir in a small field approximately 2km from the village of Bazouges.
It stands well over 5 meters in height and has various different lines and markings on its surface. I believe from local research that it was originally a polishing stone that was raised horizontally in the 1900s.
Even on a cold spring morning it is an imposing stone in a good setting.
