Bessé is known on "The Portal" for the Dolmen de "La Pierre-Blanche". I went there and after a long walk in this wood I found the first. It is a little mound about 3m in height and 10 m long on a NW-SE orientation but the stones are well laid out.
At a little distance and among many bramble bushes another mound seems to be the second. It is really small, about 1m in height and 3m long around 190m from the first. The coordinates of the second are: N 45.965630 and E 000.074340. Those two tumuli are known but in the historical note it is said they have not been studied.
