Standing Stones is in Neolithic Monuments.
Between 5000BC and 4000BC. The Menhir de Champ-Dolent [Map] is a menhir, or upright standing stone, located in a field outside the town of Dol-de-Bretagne. It is the second largest standing stone in Brittany and is over 9 metres high.
4700BC. The broken Menhir Er Grah [Map], erected around 4700 BC at the same time as another 18 blocks nearby, is thought to have been broken around 4000 BC. Measuring 20.60 metres (67.6 ft) and with a weight of 330 tons, the stone is from a rocky outcrop located several kilometres away from Locmariaquer. The impressive dimensions of this menhir still divide specialists about the techniques used for transport and erection, but the fact that this was achieved during the Neolithic era remains remarkable. See Standing Stones.
La Moye aka Quesnel Menhir [Map] was a menhir, 12 or 16ft high, the tallest of Jersey. It was destroyed between 1870 and 1878.
