Hello,
this is one more message to suggest a change :

this dolmen is in reality the dolmen named "La Pierre-Là".
Tne name Pierre à la Marte has been given to it by an error made in the late nineteen hundreds by the local Préfet. And this error is still on the base Mérimée !
Cf Guide des Dolmens et Menhirs de l’Indre, de Gérard Coulon :
L’erreur du Préfet, qui a situé le dolmen de la Pierre-à-la-Marte à Saint-Plantaire (alors qu’il est seulement sur Montchevrier) perdure et se retrouve sur la fiche de la Base Mérimée.

So it's up to us to correct this !

Regards,

PS : Gérard Coulon is an archaelogist and a very serious reference in these matters. He is actually the fundator of the Beautiful Museum of Argentomagus.
