Ploneur-Lanvern is a small town in France, in the Brittany region. It has a little-known landmark - a huge stone stele, which is 3.5 meters high. Scientists attribute it to the Gallic period (I millennium BC).
It is known that it has always had a cult significance, and various rituals were carried out next to it, starting from pagan times. Later, a Catholic church was built next to it.

It is interesting that, in contrast to the many roughly worked European menhirs, this stele has a regular shape and even grooves, applied at regular intervals. In addition, on top it is covered with a properly processed pommel, which raises many questions - weren't the craftsmen too skillful before our era?
I will add that not less mysterious Karnak megalithic complex, which is considered an ancient observatory, is located not far from Plower Laverne.
