TheCaptain visited on 13th Aug 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 This long line of white quartz stones is easy to find in the Fougères Forest, north of the town. It is about 500 metres east of the big parking area at Chennedet crossroads along the D177 road, and has a sign and a few parking places nearby. The row is about 250 metres long, and the white quartz blocks are spaced at about 3 metres apart. The row runs at an alignment of 233° / 053° or Southwest to Northeast. The largest stones are at the centre of the row, up to two metres in height, but most are much smaller. Apart from this long row, there are several other quartz blocks which seem to have once been a parallel row nearby.

Quite the most spooky place I've ever seen. I wouldn't recommend going alone! Has a big "go away" vibe all around it.
