Lovely grooved iron age stele in the churchyard at Loctudy.
The stone has been carved into this stele from a previous menhir, and today is surmounted by a cross. An example of a menhir which has been in continuous use for many thousands of years.
"The stele is currently [2005] behind the apse of the church of St. Tudy. It has been returned to its original location when it was sited for many years before the façade of the church." - Site Loctudy - Archéologie.
