Auto translation: Old tumulus in a meadow from which the slabs of the chamber emerged, destroyed during the rectification of the neighbouring communal road which bypassed it to the east.
Had an unusual position, at the bottom of a valley and next to a peat bog.
Access to the site is via this unpaved communal road from the town or from the RD 100 (Route des Templiers).
Original French text: Ancien tumulus dans un pré dont émergeaient les dalles de la chambre, détruit lors de la rectification du chemin communal voisin qui le contournait par l'est.
Avait une position inhabituelle, en fond de vallée et à côté d'une tourbière.
L'accès au site se fait par cette voie communale non goudronnée à partir du bourg ou de la RD 100 (Route des Templiers).
