This isolated menhir between the end of the Manio 2 sector of alignments and the beginning of the Kerlescan cromlech is located pretty much where the Kermario lines were thought to end, having been cleared for farming.
It is quite a large stone and creates precise geometrical triangles (3:4:5 & 30 degrees) between the Geant du Manio menhir and Le Manio II Menhir. I've called it the Menhir Isole as that's what Howard Crowhurst names it in one of his books, who also discovered it's significance.
