Three menhirs located 800m North of Messac on the left side of Vilaine river.

The biggest one on a corner of crossing paths:
4,70m Tall 2,70m Wide 1,50m Thick

70m toward South Est remain 2 smaller Menhirs:
1) 1,40m Tall, 0,90m Wide, 0,60m Thick
2) 1,80m Tall, 1,00m Wide, 0,80m Thick

3) In 1883 P. BEZIER in " Inventaire des Monuments Mégalithiques du Dpt d'Ille & Vilaine" describe a fourth Menhir (2,80m Tall, 1,40m Wide, 1,00m Thick) 3,70 meters toward West from the smaller. Now disappeared !

Just reading in my recent copy of "Les Megalithes du Departement d'Ille-et-Vilaine" and it states that a fourth menhir was still to be seen near to the large menhir in the 1950s.
