Two menhirs stand guarding each side of the path up to the tiny old church.
The stones are curious. The ‘lower’ one is undoubtedly ancient. The size, weathering patterns and position all felt genuine. The ‘upper’ one was highly suspicious. It looked as if it were a more recent stone – which for sure had once been used as a gatepost – which had been plonked on top of a larger stone. The larger stone now lies down on the slope, but the size, type and weathering all matched the standing stone still up.
I wondered if they had once been part of an alignment as they followed the dip in the road which looked as if it had once been an old trackway down to the marsh just half a mile or so to the north
