Menhir Fourchu submitted by TheCaptain on 6th Sep 2013. This is a nice menhir stood at the side of the road just to the east of Lezonnais. It is about 3.5 metres tall, 1.5 metres wide and only 0.3 metres thick, and has a nicely forked shape at the top, hence its name, and a sort of nose on one side.

Log Text: Extremely overgrown, with the large stone covered in ivy, and the smaller ones lost in the ferns and brambles. (Not a good place to wear shorts I learned the hard way.)

Log Text: The condition rating applies to the actual menhir in the Latenium museum. This rough copy has all the appeal of a piece of leftover construction material, but it is a nice gesture to mark the approximate area the menhir was found.

View of the Ménec alignements as they were in summer 1987, when you could walk amongst them before they were fenced off, and with an awful lot of erosion going on around them.

The two of them are about 20 metres apart, the bigger one being about 5 metres high, its companion 3 metres.
