alchemille visited on 24th May 2012 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 It has taken me a lot of days searching the area to find it. It s well hidden in the area of Sauteranne and locals dont seem to either know about it or give you any clues where it is.

The Dudes visited this site on 24th August 2018 and looked it on MP - the Captains longitude and latitude is incorrect. It is located at:
45.203239N / 00.256460E. The alignment of stones is ‘serpentine’ and aligned NNE / SSW. Happy prehistory to all. From the Dudes of Le Moulin de Laudibertie x

    Thank you for this update, which has now been incorporated.

    Please note that the sitepage previously had a positional accuracy of only 3, which signifies an inaccurate position which should never be used to follow by gps!
