Grande pierre triangulaire en calcaire gréseux jaune local, plantée très profondément à l'intersection de 2 chemins anciens. Elle est sur un terrain privé (celui de la propriété attenante) et mise en valeur. Elle est légèrement concave.
Elle était voisine du centre du village, maintenant déplacé.
Une pierre de justice a été signalée à une trentaine de mètres à l'est, introuvable. Il s'agit peut-être de la m^me entité?
[Translation by Google: "Large triangular stone in local yellow sandstone limestone, planted very deep at the intersection of 2 ancient paths. It is on private land (that of the adjoining property) and developed. It is slightly concave. It was next to the center of the village, now displaced. A stone of justice was reported about thirty meters to the east, not found. Maybe it is the same entity?"
