There is supposedly a good sized menhir now contained within the walls of one of the buildings at Bas-Brainville. There are lots of old granite buildings here, but I could not see anything obvious.

I asked the people at one of the houses, and they said that they knew there was a menhir somewhere, and that they had looked for it, but had been unable to find it.

Another long lost megalith I have now found a reference to, but couldn't find on my quick visit. One day this stone will be refound and back in the public knowledge.
