LocationThe menhir is located north of the town of Bois-lès-Pargny, and backed away a few meters from a small copse, near Sons-et-Ronchères. HistoryAt the beginning of the 19th century, this menhir had a twin sister, which was destroyed to extract a large amount of sandstone to be paved. It is claimed that this menhir is based in a land length of sandstone equal to that shows above the ground, which would give a height of 9 meters.[1] It is likely that this menhir just far enough wood nearby Berjaumont, where the blocks of sandstone are quite numerous and rolled by a large number of men, it happened on this hill. Legend has it that a man of immense size was using it to sharpen its Scythe. He has left on this hill, in a gesture of anger. The monument was listed as a French Historical Monuments in 1889.[2] AppendicesSee also
