TheCaptain visited on 2nd May 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 2 Access: 4 To the southeast of the village of Silly-en-Gouffern and just inside the Forêt-de-Petite-Gouffern can be found this enormous menhir about 40 metres from the roadside. It is more than 6 metres tall and several metres wide with its thickness less than a metre. And the top two metres have been broken off !
When I was here I found nowhere to park a camper van and the stone seemed to be located well within a private area with no direct access.
It is more than 6 metres tall and several metres wide with its thickness less than a metre. And the top two metres have been broken off !
