I have an old photo of this menhir but a friend told me that the second menhir near "la Pierre Bamboche" seems to have totally disappeared.

    I found the remains of the second menhir when visiting here 24th September 2005, and it seemed fairly clear that it was once a menhir. My description at the time reads as follows.



    Nearby to the La Pierre Bamboche can be found the remains of another menhir, now fallen and broken. The remains can be found about 30 metres away, in the direction of Souilhac.
