foz750 visited on 25th Nov 2023 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Using the directions on the site given by The Captain I managed to find what appears to be the site. On the border of the village next to the signpost stands a group of stones set back from the road, parking is available but they are not marked.

TheCaptain couldn't find on 1st May 2005 Marked on my map pretty much near the centre of the village of Joué-de-Bois but I failed to find this menhir.
