the Pierre Levée de Charlemagne is a menhir 1.50 m high, located beside the road from Tournissan to Saint-Laurent-de-la-Cabrerisse (D3).
Its name is given to a bus stop on the route.
Stone indicated by Jean Sicard in 1929.
From lafemmedepierre : Germain Sicard, BSPF, 1929, Essai sur les mégalithes de l’Aude, 2ème partie les menhirs : p. 508 "Sur la route de Tournissan à Saint-Laurent de la Cabrerisse se dresse un petit menhir de 1m50 de haut, appelé dans le pays Pierre de Charlemagne (2). Un arrêt facultatif du tramway, indiqué ainsi : Halte de la Pierre Levée, signale sa présence." Looking et the map, this menhir (if it has not been destroyed, of course) stands on the east side of the village. It can be called either Pierre de Charlemagne or Pierre Levée. In this case, the name Pierre Levée suggests a menhir and not a dolmen, as it is happens to be the case in France.
