Standing Stone (Menhir) in Poitou:Charente (16)
This Sunday afternoon I found a new standing stone in Charente, despite a very bad weather .
My friend told me that there is a standing stone in the commune of Villefagnan, near the road D 740 to Ruffec and I went there .
I found it near a white trackway ; this standing stone is on the right .
This stone is 2.7 m high over the mound ;1.3 m wide and 0.8 m on thickness. The mound is about 4 m in diameter and 1 m high. It is composed of limestone.
I did not find the site on any map.
