Menhir Grand Peyro
Menhir Grand Peyro submitted by LaDragonne : Site in Aquitaine:Lot-et-Garonne (47) France (Vote or comment on this photo)
At the early 20th century this menhir which has also been a destination of processions reportedly still was more than 2m high, but at a time afterwards its upper part was broken off and removed. The remaining part measures 1m by 1.1m and is only 65cm high. It is inclined by about 30 °.

Base d'un menhir dont la partie supérieure a été cassée et emportée. Initialement la pierre, objet de processions, mesurait plus de 2m de haut (début 20è siècle) . La partie restante mesure 1m X 1m10 sur 65cm de haut. Elle est inclinée d'environ 30° par rapport à sa verticale.
