TheCaptain visited on 22nd Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 This is a nicely curved menhir just down a little track and signposted east of Plouescat. Its about 4 metres tall, but in a strange position, not on top of the hill or by the stream. Despite a little area set aside for it to live in, its getting very overgrown.
