TheCaptain saw from a distance on 6th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Access: 2 This is a great big menhir in a field of barley, and there was no way I was going to get to it. I would estimate it to be 4 to 5 metres tall and it is nicely rounded. My gps position is to the field gate from where it can be seen.
