Martin_L visited on 1st Jul 2022 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Very nice ambience during visits in July 2022 when it stood in a freshly harvested field. Access may be difficult during times when the field is not harvested though the path is leading along the site in only about 10m distance so it will be at least visible from there.
TheCaptain visited on 15th Jul 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 A fine menhir, standing around 3.5 metres tall near the top of a hill amongst the fields and forests. Its a nice triangular shaped slab of the local sarsen like stone. It is fairly easily found with the ign 1:25000 map, a few hundred metres walk along a track from the roadside above Bouchet.
