Description
This menhir from the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age had been lying in a field since 1880, broken in 3. About 5,000 years old, it weighs 7 tons and measures 7.30 m high. At the top, a cavity was dug in order to christiannize it (flowers enjoy the place) – an engraved cross appears on one side.
It was restored thanks to the impulse of the Kroaz Hent association and straightened in 1985 with a portico and strings pulled by 400 men.
