TheCaptain visited on 10th Jul 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 4 This 4.5 metre tall menhir can be found in a field of sweetcorn just to the northeast of the village of Monterrain, near to a roadside cross. The menhir, a white quartz looking stone, seems to be splitting into two. Apparently there is another fallen stone nearby, but hidden from view by the maize.
