Tomb with a very big capstone, resting against an inclined upright.
There’s a legend connected with this dolmen:
The legend says that, Saint-Martin being mounted on this megalith to preach, left the imprint of his feet, his stick and even the hooves of his mule to show that this stone was less hard than the heart of Brennous.
(i.e. people from Pays de Brenne)
