This stone can be found in the hamlet La Chapelle Seguin, in the village of L'Absie. La Chapelle Seguin was an independant village before being integrated into L'Absie.

Legend says that Celtic Druids made their ceremonies around it.

Not far away, in a next village, there is also a Pierre Branlante, in Largeasse.
