LaDragonne visited on 15th Jan 2019 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 5 Splendide "monument mégalithique" sur un chemin de col.
Après étude et dégagement, il apparaît qu une deuxième pierre est plantée, arasant le niveau actuel du sol, juste à côté de l'endroit où était érigé le menhir. Constituant un menhir double semblable dans le principe aux deux autres pierres siamoises du secteur de La Vernède. Les circuits énergétiques (4 courants et une veine d'eau) passent de l'une à l'autre. On peut imaginer un marcheur se posant sur la pierre rase et appuyant le dos (ou les mains) sur le menhir. Et hop, ça repart! Je ne sens pas que le menhir ait été brisé: ses dimensions seraient celles d'origine.

Only a part of the menhir is still there. You can see a "cupule" on it.
