TheCaptain visited on 19th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Now, this is better, on top of a headland overlooking the Atlantic Ocean with a fine surf beach below to the south. The menhir is about 2.8 metres tall and in a commanding position, although not at the top, and as a result has a much better view. It can be seen from miles around coming from the south.

Lostmarc'h menhir submitted by Jimwithnoname : Site in Bretagne:Finistère (29) France (Vote or comment on this photo)
This menhir is about 2.8 metres tall and stands in a commanding position on a headland overlooking the Atlantic Ocean with a fine surf beach below to the south. The menhir, although not at the top of the headland, as a result has a much better view.

It stands close to the main remaining row of the Lostmarc'h alignments, and is clearly related to them, if not perhaps once a part of them.

It can be seen from miles around coming from the south.

Lostmarc'h menhir
Lostmarc'h menhir submitted by GinnynJohn : An open exposed place facing wild and wonderful coast line that is glorious on a hot summer day, but must be very bleak in the winter. The headland leading to the sea is littered with broken stones and hollows in the ground where they must have been placed originally. It is difficult to see where the alignment would have run - it may have been on land now claimed by the sea. (1 comment)
