Alignement de Guernangoué
Alignement de Guernangoué submitted by JohnRamirez : Overview of site. The reclining stone shows evidence of stone carvings. (Vote or comment on this photo)
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.
