Any idea where it was found exactly in 1983?

The present location is also a problem: site http://www.t4t35.fr/Megalithes/AfficheSite.aspx?NumSite=7591 gives 48.81232/5.53784 en the coördinates above brings you in the meadow where with google only grass can be seen.
Could it be it is found very close to the river, where it appently (as I see the foto's) stands now?

    @Coordinates: The coordinates of the Megalithic Portal are 100% spot on as can be seen on google maps and also when using google street view.
