Menhir du Bois Hoël

The granite menhir measures 2.7 meters in height, with a width of 1.5 meters and varying thickness between 0.6 and 0.9 meters.

Archaeological records from 1882 indicate the menhir's location near road intersections leading to Donges and Pontchâteau, approximately 500 meters northeast of Crossac.

The standing stone represents an essential element of neolithic engineering, demonstrating early human capability to transport and position substantial stone monuments.

Visitors can locate the menhir using GPS coordinates 47.410083, -2.163361, though dense forest coverage requires careful navigation from 85 meters off the forest edge.

A fallen stone lies ten meters from the main menhir, suggesting the potential presence of additional megalithic structures in the surrounding woodland area.
