TheCaptain visited on 17th Apr 2014 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Marked on the ign map to the north east of Plouguiel, along the road to La Roche Jaune, is this menhir in the middle of a field, which I wondered whether this was the newly posted onto the portal menhir, despite it not fitting the description. So, after a pleasant lunch at Treguier, it’s time to have a look and find out. No, this stone is clearly not that recently posted as La Roche Jaune menhir, but something in its own right.
Although in the middle of a field of artichokes, the farmer has ploughed out the crop to allow passage to it. The stone is probably not much more than 5 feet in length, and leaning substantially. It has a hole cut through it near to the top, giving the impression of something a bit more modern, but I do not know. I have no reason to doubt the ign map that it is indeed a menhir.
