TheCaptain couldn't find on 4th Aug 2005 The village of Roche-en-Brenil is supposed to have two menhirs, but I could find no sign of either of them. It's a shame that these places do not have village maps with things marked, or any signposts like they do elsewhere. The area is covered with forests, and looks to be lots of natural granite outcrops.
This one apparantly served as an outdoor court for the gauls and has steps leading up to it. It is about 4 meters wide and about 1.7 meters tall. There is a second smaller stone in front of it, where the accused might have sat, while the Roche D'Arthur is less than 20 Meters away.
