The Meada menhir is a total of 7.15 meters in length, and it rises from the ground about 6m. The diameter exceeds one meter.

From a distance, its height is notorious and, close up, the granite surface reveals the erosion of about two thousand years. The way it was carved also seems to accentuate the erosive effect because in some parts it appears to have been polished.
The Meada menhir dates back to the Neo-Chalcolithic period, the same period as the funerary monuments found in this region. It is presumed to have been broken since Roman times; when it was discovered, in 1965, it was lying flat and split in two. In 1993 it was restored and excavations were carried out.
