TheCaptain couldn't find on 16th Jul 2005 Supposedly near the river Thouet south of Lenay, and it looked easy to find from the map. I looked, but found nothing, despite walking for what seemed like miles. It must be behind the farm somewhere.

Grande Pierre de la Prée de Thouars submitted by ocdolmen : Lenay menhir 2 (3.20 metres) (Vote or comment on this photo)
This menhir is a large ovoid slab 3.2 metres tall and a metre wide is riddled with natural holes

One can find coins in the holes near the summit, thrown there by young girls wishing to get married within the year.
