The rear appears to have a medium size chamber, while the rest appears to be the passage leading to it. It probably once had a tumulus. Saint-Lyphard.

La Pierre Aubrée
Date Added: 3rd Oct 2018
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: France (Pays de la Loire:Maine-et-Loire 49)
Visited: Yes on 1st Sep 2018
Log Text: These coordinates take you to the hamlet La Pierre Aubree. Talking to locals they direct you to the Menhir de Breau as the local menhir. We did search on this side of the river but access is very restricted and the bank is mostly a wall of rock. The Menhir de Breau is only a couple of hundred meters away but you have to drive about 6km to get there on the other side of the river. There is an old water mill on this side but it's now a private house. There is a very steep road down to it so there must be some level ground on this side of the river where there might be a menhir in the grounds of the house.

Log Text: If you put these coordinates into google maps it looks as if you can drive almost up to the menhir. In fact the last kilometer is a grassy path which descends quickly via a hairpin to run along the river. At the end of the path is a weir and a house on the other side which I believe is the site of an old watermill. The road runs steeply up from the house on the other side of the river so this could be an ancient crossing point. The path opens up into a large meadow enclosed by the bend in the river at this point. The menhir stands in the meadow backed by a rock face which drops into the far side of the river. The 3.5 meter menhir appears pointed on one side and with a wide flat top on the other.
