Once an alignment of stones, only one is now left standing, at 4.2 metres tall, with a fallen neighbour of similar size nearby. These stones can be found in amongst some trees, in a field to the northwest of the hamlet of Guernangoué.
The reclining stone can be seen to have engravings on it, including the outline of an axe, and a large square.
