Site Type: Sculptured Stone

Combeynart statue-menhir submitted by theCaptain on 18th Nov 2010. This is a very tall thin male statue-menhir which stands just over 2 metres tall, but only 40 cm width.
Many of his features are equally scrawny. Legs, belt and "objet" can be made out but the rest is a bit of a jumble.

Rieuviel statue menhir 2

Rieuviel statue menhir 2 submitted by TheCaptain on 19th Nov 2010.
He stands about 1.7 metres tall, and the engravings on the front are superb, and very clear. He has a full face, arms (with fingers), collar piece, belt with buckle, legs (with toes). I could not make out what weapons he carries, and the back is not clear.
Unfortunately, when I visited in 2005, the poor chap is being used as a fence post, and the wire fence is scratching and degrading this 5000 year old stone.
