Pierre de Buléon
Pierre de Buléon submitted by ogham : Located right by the side of the road. (Vote or comment on this photo)
This menhir is erected near the church in Buléon and is credited to be a pillar from the Iron Age. It is thought that it was resized to serve as a road marker in the Gallo-Roman period, the Vannes - Corseul Roman road lies near Buléon.

It appears now to have been re-erected in an inverted position and as you can see in the photos the base is very apparent.

It is located on the road junction of the D155 and D165 by the church, where you can park.
