Further standing stones in Charente is a twinned stone. It is on the hamlet of "La Vallade" in the community of Brigueuil near the town of Confolens.

We leave Confolens for Saulgond and we take D51 near the church of Saulgond. After 3,7 kms at a crossroads with D351 to Brigueuil we take this road on the left and we found "La Vallade"; after the hamlet on the right we find the two standing stones at 100 m in a cropfield. It's possible to mistake them for a bush because the greatest is covered by ivy.
