TheCaptain visited on 8th Aug 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 4 This is a very nice polissoir stone found in the fields to the south of the village of Corancez, and it is easy to find because it is signposted. It has a footpath to it across the fields, about 100 metres from the road.
It is a large stone, about 5m by 2m laying flat in the field, with at least four polishing stations, and a large bowl in the middle for a good water supply. At the southeast end of the stone there are eight deep grooves and at least six flatter basins. At the northwest end there are six grooves and at least a dozen flatter cuvettes. In the middle of the north side are another nine flattish grooves. There are many more polishing marks evident around the rest of the stone, and this was obviously a major workplace once long ago.
