The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Croix du 16e siècle couronnant un fût circulaire émergeant d'un bloc de pierre qui semble provenir d'un monument celtique sans doute christianisé par l'implantation de cette croix. La niche creusée à l'intersection des bras donne au monument un aspect d'ex-voto. Le bloc mesure 1, 60 mètre sur 1, 40.

History
16th-century cross crowning a circular shaft emerging from a stone block which appears to come from a Celtic monument no doubt Christianised by the implantation of this cross. The niche hollowed at the intersection of the arms gives the monument an aspect of ex-voto. The block measures 1.60 metres by 1.40.
