When the rows are open it is easy to approach. It is probably a marker for the tumulus, as are other menhirs in the Carnac area (though not usually at the western end).
The small bear (at the base of the stone) is making a tour of Carnac sites from Hallbankgate school in Cumbria, where his photographs will help children to learn about France - and to some extent, pre-history!
