TheCaptain visited on 12th Jul 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Just to the north of the allée couverte and almost in the garden of a house are a couple of menhirs, one standing about 3 metres tall, the other broken and fallen beside it. This fallen stone would have probably been taller than the one still standing.

This fallen stone would have probably been taller than the one still standing.

Note: Looking at the latest satellite views, the beautiful trees at this site have been felled, presumably to make an open garden area for this old farmhouse. I wonder what fate has befallen the two menhirs.
