TheCaptain visited on 16th Sep 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 While driving through Carriers towards Nages from the southeast, I saw a little menhir shining in the low sun beside the road near to a cross. Its not much more than a metre tall, and possibly once had markings on it, and is a very pale coloured stone. It is nicely presented in its little garden like setting.
