TheCaptain visited on 13th Jul 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 The "little stone" is well hidden deep in the forest. I found it as much by luck as by good navigation using a detailed map and asking people. There are no signs or anything to help you, and it is 100 metres away from the nearest footpath. The menhir is about 1.8 metres tall, and a nice white granite all covered in moss. Its a nice stone to find, partially because of the difficulty in getting to it, with no gps or anything to go by.

It's a nice stone to find, partially because of the difficulty in getting to it.
