johnstone visited on 26th Jun 2012 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 4

TheCaptain visited on 10th Jul 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 2 Access: 5 This is a nice stone, fairly easily found near to the farm of La Verrie a kilometre or so to the northeast of Monteneuf. The stone is nearly 5 metres tall and 4.5 metres in width, but is less than 0.5 metre thick. It resembles the comb of a cockerel the way the top edge has become serrated. The stone is near to the corner of a field, only 20 metres from the lane, but also only 30 metres from the farm, with all sorts of buildings and machinery around, which detracts from the atmosphere of the stone.
