The jagged one (eastern stone, 1.7 tons) is menhir number 1 and the rounded one (western stone, also 1.7 tons) is number 2. They are separated by a concrete calvary with an iron cross.
2 legends exist: the first says that menhirs mark the place of a Gallic temple dedicated to the Celtic god Hérus; second legend says that the day when the two menhirs (which are at a distance of 2 meters of each other one) are reunited, it will be the end of the world.
