Standing Stones in Poitou:Charente (16)
Found the site when taking a walk around the La Feculerie lake, just outside Etagnac. Took some photos, so that I could investigate later (And because the stones were quite interesting). They are situated in a field at the side of the Route de La Feculerie, about 20m from the road
There are two stones (each about 1.5m high) standing - the grass has been cut around them, so it looks like the current owner does care about them! There is a third stone (which would have probably been about 2m high), which is now lying on its side. Also there are two more stones, which are heavily overgrown, and may or may not be part of the arrangement.
There are many ancient sites in the area, but I am unable to find any mention of these stones, so I have submitted them here. If anyone has any more info, I'd love to hear it...
