TheCaptain visited on 2nd Aug 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 5 This is a very large menhir right beside the D.28 road in front of a large house in the village of St-Micaud. I would estimate it to be about 7 metres tall, but its not easy to tell as it is in the private garden and surrounded by a hedge. The menhir is of rectangular shape, nd has very uneven surfaces, and has perhaps got some carvings on it.

This is a very large menhir right beside the D.28 road in front of a large house in the village of St-Micaud.

I would estimate it to be about 7 metres tall, but it's not easy to tell as it is in the private garden and surrounded by a hedge. The menhir is of rectangular shape, and has very uneven surfaces, and has perhaps got some carvings on it.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Positional co-ordinates taken from a gps receiver.
