TheCaptain visited on 13th Aug 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 To the south of the village of Préviere along the D.6 road, and after a couple of kilometres is a signpost to Pierre Fritte. From there it's about 500 metres walk along the farm track, taking the left turn at the crossing of tracks. It's a very nice menhir, 5.2 metres tall and shaped so that it is flat on the eastern face and pointed at the top. It has also been Christianised or vandalised, according to your viewpoint, with a cross carved with an inscription, and a niche carved with a china virgin placed inside. Both of these alterations are on the menhirs flat face. An appalling bit of metal grill has been very crudely bolted over the niche, presumably to protect from vandalism the statue of the virgin. It's all a bit of a shame really, its completely spoiled what would have otherwise been a splendid menhir.
