Locmariaquer, one of the most important archaeological sites in Brittany (F). The great cracked menhir was 20 m high. The "Table des Marchand" (Merchant table, but indeed Marchand was the name of the family owning the land) shows a large bottom vertical slab engraved with "crosses". The top cover slab was taken from another cracked menhir. It shows some engraved figures, like a stone axe, a crosse and the front part of an ox.
