Subsequently, the farmer then enclosed
the menhir with 3 stakes & barbed wire, and wrapped the circa 8ft stone from bottom to near top in chicken wire. When I visited, I eventually found this stone wrapped in ivy, brambles, nettles etc etc etc. The ivy interlocks the chicken mesh solidly to the stone's surface. It is in a sorry state.
