Framed Print of Prehistoric Remains in Jersey: the Menhir le Quesnel, 1870. Creator: Unknown
Prehistoric Remains in Jersey: the Menhir le Quesnel, 1870. A twelve-foot menhir located in a field known as Clos de la Chenellerie in the centre of the La Moye promontory. The menhirs, maenhirs, or perulvans, are remarkable monoliths, or pillars of stone, which have been placed in conspicuous positions, at some unknown date, probably to commemorate some signal victory or the death of some great chieftain. They serve as convenient landmarks, and a superstitious respect is paid to them by the peasantry. The menhir called Le Quesnel is a good example of these pillars. It is visible for some distance out to sea. It is situated in a rather desolate part of Jersey, not far from Moye Point...An iron ring has been fixed to the top of the stone, to which a former proprietor had a stay affixed to prevent the stone from being blown down; the stone being so well balanced that a high wind shakes it. This monument, however, has stood at least 2000 years, and is likely to last as long again, if the quarrymen who are at work close to it, will let it remain'. From Illustrated London News, 1870.
