This arc of stones is now embedded in a garden wall, just by the side of a minor road. Burl lists it as a once great ring, of which thirty stones survive.

Three stones apparently are carved but we were not able to identify these - many of the stones were small and overgrown.

It was not very impressive, but was interesting as one of the cromlechs and gives some impression of how big it must have been. The Crucuny menhir was not visible from the wall, although visible in a garden nearby (but not accessible without permission).

My notes from June 2005.
To the south of the hamlet of Crucuny, and marked on my map as a menhir, this ancient cromlech is now incorporated into a semicircular wall. There are several big stones to be seen, with smaller ones in between them, which in places are almost contiguous.
