The Pierre Levée du champ de la Fa, a prehistoric, Christianized menhir in the municipality of La Chapelle-sous-Brancion.
The menhir dates back to the Neolithic period and is well over 4,000 years old.
It is about 3.8 to 4.5 meters high and weighs around 5 to 10 tons.
The stone cross at the top was added much later during the Christianization process. This was often done at old pagan cult sites to integrate them into the Christian faith.
