TheCaptain visited on 6th Aug 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 This menhir can be found in a field just to the side of the D.410 road, about 500 metres to the south of the village of Tousson. It stands about 3.3 metres tall, and is a rectangular section lump of sarsen. I found it difficult to park here.

I found it difficult to park here, and the road was very busy.
