La Roche Longue (Quintin)
La Roche Longue (Quintin) submitted by Jimwithnoname : Now closely planted in a farmer's field, this tall menhir is much thinner at it's base. I couldn't quite get the best angle to show you because of the crops. There is also a smaller menhir most likely connected, at the bottom of the field on the opposite side of the lane. It stands about 1.5 mtrs high at the edge of the field. Site in Bretagne:Côtes-D'Armor (22) France (Vote or comment on this photo)
