TheCaptain visited on 12th Jul 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 This tall thin menhir is built into a roadside bank, and is more than 4 metres tall from the top of that. If the ground level is at the road level, the menhir would be 7 metres tall. It is difficult to get to see due to all the undergrowth, but when round the back, in amongst the brambles, it looks like it has a crook carved onto it.
