A small stele 1m in height, it is located by the parish close in the church yard.
The parish close, entered through a triumphal doorway, is a link between the living and dead. It is generally sited around the cemetery and comprises church, ossuary and Calvary. The latter is a characteristic Breton monument and follows on from the Christianised menhir and wayside cross.
As you approach the church the stele is to the right of the Calvary.
