Statue-menhir in Corsica:Corse-nord (2B)
A falling statue-menhir discovered in 1997. It lies on the eastern slope of Monte Filetto (alt.842m) and Monte Ambrica (alt.1063m) on the way to a small meadow in the dense maqui, the Corsican bush.
A colour photo of this statue-menhir with Monte Filetto is shown in Frank Leandri (2000, 2009) "Les Mégalithes de Corse" ISBN:978-2755800784
