Menhir dit Pierre Bottin submitted by thecaptain : I could see the stone from the road nearby, and estimate it to be about 2 metres tall. It has a similar sized stone laying flat nearby. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Despite being less than 200 metres down a farm track from the road between Dangy and Cerisy-la-Salle, I was not able to visit these stones, as people living in the house at the end of the track refused to let me walk down the lane to it.

I could see the stone from the road nearby, and estimate it to be about 2 metres tall and overlooking a stream to the north. It has a similar sized stone laying flat nearby.
