This stone can be found in a field to the west of the village of Villiers Canivet, to the south of the big water tower between here and the village of Ussy. At the time of my visit, I was unable to get right to the stone because of crops growing, and also the sodden nature of the soil.

A strange rectangular section stone, is it a fallen (but on edge) menhir, or perhaps a backstone or fallen capstone from a burial chamber? I can find nothing about this stone, which I had no knowledge of a year or so ago.
