TheCaptain visited on 20th Sep 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 3 Ginestous menhir 3 is about 2.7 metres tall, and a very carefully formed rectangular shape, standing proudly overlooking the valley. The top has crumbled and broken a bit, so maybe it was once taller. It can be seen from the Almond menhir, which is about 100 metres away to the east, across a valley, with a little path leading between the two.
