aolson visited on 19th Jul 2020 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Extremely overgrown, with the large stone covered in ivy, and the smaller ones lost in the ferns and brambles. (Not a good place to wear shorts I learned the hard way.)
TheCaptain visited on 11th Jul 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 5 This is a nice menhir stood at the side of the road just to the east of Lezonnais. It is about 3.5 metres tall, 1.5 metres wide and only 0.3 metres thick, and has a nicely forked shape at the top, hence its name, and a sort of nose on one side. Around this area are many stones stood up beside the road, in gardens etc, of which I assume are mostly modern and field clearance, otherwise I would have known about them, but perhaps they are the remains of something once much more significant.
