Standing Stone (Menhir) in France
Menhir en granit d'environ 1m80 de haut sur 80 de large et 40 d'épaisseur. Une face plane et une bombée. Devait être érigé à 2m dans l'actuel chemin, comme celui de Pedra dreta n°1. Il faisait l'angle du muret. A été déplanté lors de l'élargissement du chemin pour le mettre au gabarit voiture et placé sur le nouveau muret de pierre séparatif de la pâture. Compte tenu de sa position horizontale, a été assez érodé.
This granite standing stone, now eroded, stands 1 metre high by 80 cms wide, and between 40 and 80 cms thick. It has one flat and one convex face. Like Pedra No. 1, it originally sat in the angle of a wall, but had to be moved 2 metres to allow for widening of the road and has been placed against a stone wall next to farm land (apologies for any errors in translation).
