TheCaptain couldn't find on 21st May 2005 This dolmen is supposedly 2.5 metres high and three metres long. But beware it houses a giant and monstrous wolf with eyes burning with fire. I spent hours in the hamlet of Larocale looking for this and asked many people who didn’t know until I fond a man out strimmering in the garden who did at least know of its existence. It turned out he was a Professor of Prehistory but of older stuff than megaliths. He told me where to find the dolmen “turn right then right again and up a footpath into the wood on the left about a kilometre. Its small and difficult to find” but he knew of none of the others in the area.
Too right it was difficile a trouver. The wood was being cleared and logged by a man with a tractor splitting logs who I asked but he knew nothing. I had a look round but could find nothing. Just where is that monstrous Loup when you nee him ? On my way back to the Campingcar a couple of the people who I had asked enquired if I had found it. No such luck. One lady then told me about the dolmen at Nojals. At least they know of that one round these parts.
LaDragonne visited - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 2 Access: 3 Dolmen éventré et creusé, dans un bois. Accessible en 10mn de marche le long d'un champ pouis dans le sous-bois. Ronces garanties!
