5 metre tall, 4 m wide menhir on a wooded hillside near to the village of La Gacilly.

The site, on a steep hillside, is remarkable. Several large blocks of stone outcrop nearby, show the local origins of the menhir.

[co-ordinates corrected. thank you. admin] The coordinates given for this menhir are in the middle of the wood which is very misleading it is actually (in the same wood) but immediately above a roundabout at N 47.76398 W 2.13827 which makes it much easier to find.
