I have visited· I would like to visit

TheCaptain couldn't find on 18th Sep 2005 Between 50 and 100 metres to the northeast of the Grand Dolmen du Ferrussac, is a fallen menhir more than 3 metres in length. However, this land is fenced off, and with some pretty mean looking horned cattle in there, so I wasn't going to look too hard.

About 80 metres northeast of the Grand Dolmen du Ferrussac can be found a fallen menhir 3.3 metres in length, but broken into two pieces.

However, when I visited in 2005, this land was fenced off, and with some pretty mean looking horned cattle in there, so I wasnt going to look. Coordinates submitted by regina in 2011
