Saturday 16 April 2009 One of the stones with carvings – there are others on it, but I can’t make out what they are
Access: Easy, as it’s right on the street, but not sure how accurate coordinates are.
Visted Saturday 16 April 2005
An obscure wonder! Another ‘menhir brise’, thought possibly to have originally been part of the same alignment as the nearby Grand Menhir Brise (GMB) and pehaps the grand menhir(s) that form the capstones of Mane Rutuel & Er-Grah.
Very respectable size though not even vaguely near the GMB’s truly awesome magnitude.
Two pieces, the ‘top’ part has a bolt mounted in its bottom, broken side. Allegedly there were at some point plans to reassemble the 2 parts, but I somehow doubt whether it’s to do with that (or whether it’ll ever get done now, for that matter!)
