The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Croix du 15e ou 16e siècle, se présentant comme un monolithe en granit émergeant au-dessus du sol de 1, 20 mètre. Sur chacune des quatre faces a été sculptés une croix. Elle avait été décrite comme un menhir christianisé, mais cela ne semble pas le cas, la sculpture ayant été réalisée avant l'érection.

History
Cross of the 15th or 16th century, presenting itself as a monolith in granite emerging above the ground by 1.20 metres. On each of the four faces a cross has been carved. It had been described as a Christianized menhir, but this does not appear to be the case, the carving having been executed before the erection.
