Carrefour de la Croix d'Or
Carrefour de la Croix d'Or submitted by Alta-Falisa : One stone near the edge of the road, showing a peculiar shape. There are traces of excavations. April 2015. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Several stones sometimes filed [very arbitrarily, that is] as part of a Stones Circle. I list the site for the sake of completeness.

Right on the North of the road, half-way between the cemetery of Plainevaux and the nearby round-about (see map), there are about 10 stones forming a kind of oval arrangement. Some are visible from the road, provided you know where they are.
Once you have found a first one, the others easy to find, one by one.
Condition : I rate the site "0", because I do not know what to think about it.
April 2015.
