TheCaptain visited on 16th Sep 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Right outside the back of the church in Nages can be found this little menhir, planted in a little flower bed. It is about 1.4 metres tall and 0.6 metres wide, and made out of a nice dark grey, almost black stone. The front face is very smooth, but it is rough on all other sides.
