The approximately 2.7 meters high, at the base 1.8 m wide and 1.4 m thick menhir stands in a swampy area and is mostly covered with yellow lichen . A 1.5 x 1.2 m block made of the same material is about 5.0 m to the west.
The menhir stands about 350 m south of the dolmen of La Haute Gédelière. Nearby are five other menhirs, including the 4.0 m high menhir of the Cassis.
Legend
According to legend, when the Cromlech de la Rochelais was being built , the giant Gargantua dropped a large stone into the creek, which dammed the creek. The backwater formed the Maraichandeau swamp between Corsept and Saint Père.
