At 9.5 metres, Kerloas Menhir is the tallest standing stone to remain erect. In the English Edition of The Megaliths of Brittany (ISBN: 2-87747-063-6) Jacques Briard states that the stone was originally over 10 metres high, but the tip was struck off during a thunder storm “some centuries ago”, bits landing in a nearby farm. At it’s base the menhir has two very feminine looking lumps. The stone is granite, and is thought to have been transported 3km from L’Aber Ildut.
