Wednesday 5 September 2007 Is that another very tall thin stone ‘above’ and to the right of the main stone in the photo?

Menhir 2 (?) du Coulet

Approximate long/lat coordinates only

Access: See the Menhir de Cisternette and Menhir 1 de Coulet. Less than 300 metres east, on the north side of the road. Also less than 1km east of the Menhir de la Levade.

As with all the menhirs here, there is a fence at the side of the road, so I’m not sure how easy it is to get right up to the stone, but it’s very close to the road.

‘Visited’ Wednesday 5 September
One web source I have seen since we got back suggests that there are two menhirs here, but gives no more information.

We could only see one from the road, though looking closely at one my photographs there is what I had previously taken as a dead tree beyond the stone. I now think it could well be another stone. The one we definitely saw is a fairly chunky, tapering monolith around 3 metres tall and 1.5 metres wide. As with Menhir 1 du Coulet, it is set on the high plain surrounded by low hills.
