It looks a lot like a natural lump of rock, but there are no others like it around here, so it has obviously been placed here. Almost 2 metres in length, by 1.5 metres by 1 metre in dimensions, it is probably fallen and with its top cut off.
I am not sure if this is the "Pierre des Rouettes" which I have elsewhere found reference to as being at St-Malo-de-la-Lande, which we have here on the megalithic portal at nearby Blainville-sur-Mer.
