This stone isn't a menhir but the only remains of an ancient dolmen, destroyed at the beginning of the 20th century, because of supposed treasure.

From Rubis The stone called La Grosse Borne (The Big Boundary stone) used to be the edge between Etaules and Chaillevette, two villages.

Legend says that the farmer who cultivated the land where stands the stone, tried several times to pull it off. In vain. Disasters happened to his cultures.
