TheCaptain visited on 24th Apr 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 At least 3 metres high this menhir is found signposted about 30 metres from the road in a private garden although access to the stone is allowed up a driveway. There are at least two other large stones laying nearby and I wondered if one of these pieces was broken from the top of the menhir but the owner of the was in the garden and assured me that these had been put there as a garden feature by the previous owner.
