Menhir des Chaumes de Fayolle
Menhir des Chaumes de Fayolle submitted by taupin : Site in Poitou:Charente (16) France (Vote or comment on this photo)
Standing Stone (Menhir) in Poitou:Charente (16). This stone could be a standing stone which has been knocked over. It is lost in a woodland 1 km from RN 10 (the main road between Paris and Bordeaux). A trackway along a cropfield with 4 air generators edge this wood. The stone is 5 metres away and covered with moss.

It is almost a limestone cylinder of 2,5 metres length and about 1 m of diameter. I remember an old tourist map about 35 years ago, where this place was marked as a standing stone, but I can't find it anywhere.

The nearest known place on our portal is the Tumulus B de la Boixe at 4 kilometres on 280°.

Coordonates obtained with GPS receiver.

Note: "Some people say there are no standing stones in Charente, but when I looked at the IGN map I found a few." Click on Taupin's name to see the other sites he has found in the area
