Standing Stone unearthed in the summer of 2007, during urbanization works, re-erected in its original pit on the 23th of September 2007. Abundantly documented by the local press at that time - see several links below.
Like all the menhirs of the region, its typical trapezoidal shape ("Zeupire") is quite obvious, even if the tip is missing. The material is the typical Puddingstone.
