TheCaptain visited on 22nd Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Just below 4 metres tall, this tapered menhir has a sort of hook at the top of it. Perhaps it is intended as a washing line post! It looks to me, by the patterns in the lichen, that it had a sign attached to it for many years. It can be found down a track into a field just east of the D.330 road south of Poulfoen.
