Menhir de Champ-Dolent

The Menhir de Champ-Dolent is a menhir, or upright standing stone, located in a field outside the town of Dol-de-Bretagne [1]. It is the second largest standing stone in Brittany and is around 9.4 metres high [1]. The Menhir de Champ-Dolent is 2 kilometres south of Dol-de-Bretagne in the department of Ille-et-Vilaine [1]. A cross was once placed on top to Christianize it [1]. It is not precisely dated, but recent scholarship suggests that Brittany's menhirs were erected c. 5000–4000 BC [1]. It has been registered as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1889 [1].
