Menhir de Deigné
Menhir de Deigné submitted by Alta-Falisa : A chaos of puddingstone. Many more similar stones lie in the wood. An ancient monument is not impossible, but now destroyed beyond recognition. August 2015. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Somewhat hastily proclaimed "Menhir" (which it is not), these stones, laying around without any apparent order, may be, at best, the remains of a Stones Circle.

To my knowledge, this site has not yet been studied, or has been discarded all-together. It is mainly a tourists' attraction, arranged as pick-nick area.
Deigné is the name of the nearby village.

Access : drive to (50.50375, 5.73900), then 50 m on foot.
