TheCaptain visited on 15th Sep 2005 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Right outside the tourist office at Fraisse-sur-Agout, next to a wall behind a big tree display thing, is the top 90 cm of this statue menhir which must have once been 2 metres tall. It is very difficult to make out any markings, with it being in dark shadow and very moss covered. I am starting to think that museums are the best places for viewing these statue-menhirs.
