Pierre de grès ferrugineux jaune de 2m de long posée le long de la route d'Issac à Église-Neuve-d'Issac. Elle a la forme d'une ânesse bâtée, d'où le nom en occitan: pierre de somme ou Peyre Chaume. Elle était probablement plantée ou posée sur le point menhir indiqué par les coordonnées. Elle a été ramenée il y a des décennies le long de la route. Le point menhir est à 40m au milieu d'un fourré dans la plantation, inextricable.
Actuellement, la pierre a été mise à l'abri en attendant une mise en valeur qui sera décidée en accord avec le maire de la commune.
