One of the most interesting and hard-to-find statue-menhirs in Corsica. It has a dagger mark and, very unique, 2 round swells on its breast. Is it an Amazon or a new type of armour? Do not believe the triangle (menhir) mark on the IGN 4253OT map, this statue-menhir stands in an oak wood beyond the stone boundary wall of Castaldu meadow, on the 2nd natural terrace above the Taravo river and an apple garden.
