I couldn't figure out how to change the "ambience" score for this site, but I would rate it as a 5

This is a superb site and well worth seeking out.

Although there is a very obvious menhir on display, there may be much more going on at this site than first meets the eye. It seems possible that the standing menhir was part of an arrangement of up to five stones standing as a small cove, the remainder of which have all fallen.

Towards the base of the menhir, on the northeast face, there appear to be the remnants of two vertical arrangements of cup marks. It would be rare for a menhir in this part of Brittany to have carved markings, but in the right light they can be seen quite clearly.

There are hints that this could have been quite a large site with up to three concentric rings, but it will take detailed mapping to figure out if this is a reality or just the product of an over-active imagination!
