    The menhir was mentioned in 1636 by Dubuisson-Aubenay under the name of Pierre Longue. The monument was classified as a historic monument on March 2, 1977.

    Several legends surround the menhir. According to one of them, it is one of the three stones closing the entrance to hell (hence its name "Hell's Bunghole"). A variant mentions it as a key to the sea: if it were turned a flood would flood the Earth. According to another tradition, Saint Samson would have faced the temptations of the Devil nearby but seeing his failure, the Devil would have, in spite, scratched the stone, thus marking it with the quartz filaments it contains.
