Le Crocq

All that exists, of what was in all likeliness a very large site, are two menhirs, magnificent sentries over what was described by Mr. George Mètivier in a letter to F. C. Lukis (now in Guernsey Museum as part of the Lukis collection) as a large circle of stones which was paved with a floor of flat stones. One can only imagine what a visitor 4-5000 years ago would have seen!

The two menhirs, La Longue Pierre 3m high, and Le Crocq 2.1m high, seem to stand on an east-west line, though from another angle we can take in three menhirs that suggest that they could be making up part of a huge stone circle.

The two menhirs are on private land but can be clearly seen from the road. There is a small car park at the end of the headland where one can enjoy the views of La Catioroc and Lihou headland, home of the Creux ès Fees.
