johnstone visited on 17th Jun 2009 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 3

TheCaptain saw from a distance on 3rd May 2005 Seen at a distance of about 200 metres across fields from the little bridge across the Risle river. There wasn’t really anywhere to park and there looked no way to get to the menhir so I contented myself with a long distance shot. It must be nearly 4 metres tall in a large flat pasture beside the river.
