**Menhirs de Canac'h Léron** submitted by ogham : Looking from the road towards the buildings. (Vote or comment on this photo)

The menhirs are positioned in a field by the road which runs up to the Liscuis Alley Couverte sites so can be seen quite easily from the road. The field is part of a stable complex and usually has horses in it so you are unable to get close to them.

They are approximately 30 metres apart and the smaller stone is just over 1 metre tall and about the same size across the face and it is well under a metre in width.

The taller of the two stone is nearer the house and is about 1.8 metres tall and the same size across the face; it is though a lot thinner in the width, appearing to be just under a metre. They are sign posted locally and marked on the local map as the Menhirs de Canac'h Léron.
