TheCaptain couldn't find on 12th Aug 2005 Probably what was under that tree and those bushes in the lump in the middle of the field where I was trying to find the menhir.
The fallen capstone is approximately rectangular, about 3 m by 2 m.
It is said that a protruberance on the capstone served as a pillow for young girls to be sacrificed here.
