Le roc Rôti is situated between Aurillac and Saint Saury, passed the village of Roumégoux, today there is a parking by the side of national road D20. A sign has been place there by the council reading: "Rocher du Roc Rôti, monument mégalithe de la Préhistoire, TYPE MENHIR."
A postcard was printed in 1907 with the title "Le Roc Rôti avec les restes d'enceinte druidique près St Saury Cantal". From the parking we can observe on the other side of the national road groups of stones and a spring.
St Saury coordinates 44.5205N, 2.0823E.
