ceresbeith visited on 25th Apr 2018 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 One of the few menhirs in the immediate area where i live. It's accessible, park by the lovely little church then it's a ten minute walk along a footpath by the pylon. But it's completely unsigned. I would never have spotted it without the coordinates as it's behind trees and bushes. The iron cross is no longer attached. Lovely place, good ambience and amazing views on the road on the way up here.
