Thanks for making the corrections.

Today, I will ask you tho create a new file for another stone inthe community of Saint-Agreve, ardèche. This menhir has been notified years ago.

6. — Menhir de Lichessol, commune de Saint-Agrève (Ardèche).
Si nous signalons ici un monument de l'Ardèche, c'est qu'il est situé sur un plateau géographiquement inséparable du Velay.
Ce menhir, connu sous le nom de « La Pile », se trouve à droite de la route Saint-Agrève-Le Pouzat, à 1 kilomètre environ du village de Lichessol. Il a été mentionné par M. Paya dans son ouvrage sur le folklore de Saint-Agrève.
Il est en granit, a une hauteur hors-sol de 1,60 m et sa section rectangulaire est de 0,54 m sur 0,38 m à la base.
Some photos of it do exist, but they are not mine... And, there is a discussion whether it's a statue-menhir or not.

Hello ! It's me again !

I'm a little disappointed by discovering the modification I've suggested last year hasn't been made yet.
I do repeat that there's a confusion between two stones, and that in that case, the creation of an extra file seems necessary.
The statue-menhir de l'Aven Meunier 1 :
The photography showed in this file belongs to the statue-menhir de l'Aven Meunier 1, which is exposed in the "Musée de Préhistoire de l'Aven d'Orgnac" together with the statue-menhir de l'Aven Meunier 2. In fact, they were discovered together, placed at the entrance as if they were the guards of the funerary cave. They belong to the community of Saint-Martin-d'Ardèche.

As I don't know how to create a file, I beg you to do it for me.

They have nothing to do with the statue-menhir of Lichessol, which belongs to the community of Saint-Agreve, also in Ardèche... Unfortunately, I have no photos of my own to communicate...

Hello ! IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION :

The images and text submitted here are about the "statues-menhirs of L'Aven Meunier", found in 1969 in the community of Saint-Martin-d'Ardèche in a cave and now to be seen at the Museum of Orgnac-l'Aven...(and not the Lichessol Statue-menhir).

There are several publications of Persée about them.

Thank you for correcting !

Regards,
