The Grain of Campsoleil is a monumental granit rock with the shape of an egg. The surface is engraved with 25 cupules (small hemispherical hollows) from 1.5 cm to 4.5 cm (1.5 cm deep aproximatively). They are all around the roc, distributed in a horizontal way. For now, the signification or usage of these hollows remain unknow. The discovery is recent, it was found in december 2009 by Mister Jean Bonnet (it was used as a parking safety block!). The roc stands outside, close to the entrance of the Burlats town hall.
