I found the track near to Rougerie Sud farm, and parked near to a large stone in the hedge (talus) where there was room near to the junction with the road. I then walked all down the lane, looking in the fields and the hedges surrounding the fields, expecting to find the stone in the field to the south of the trackway. But I found nothing else, and decided that the stone I parked near to must be the menhir, so had a proper look. I decided that this was clearly once a menhir standing here, but it was good to have ruled out other possibilities.
The stone is about 2.5 metres long, 1.2 metres wide and 0.7 m thick granite type stone. Probably once standing, and then surrounded by the hedge, this would have been a nice menhir. Although now fallen, it has now (probably fairly recently) been cleared from the talus all around it, looking like it is perhaps cared for by somebody – although not so well that it has had all sorts of stuff dumped beside it.
