TheCaptain visited on 12th Jul 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 This is a nice shaped menhir, just under 4 metres tall, standing in a little clearing in an area of many natural granite rocks. It is just beside the road and has a parking place and signpost, from which it is about a 50 metre walk. Its got some lovely shade for this very hot and sunny afternoon. It is only a few hundred metres from the large Kermarquer menhir.
