TheCaptain visited on 2nd May 2005 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Right beside the road to the west of the village of Fontaine-les-Bassets on the way to Ommoy are the remains of this dolmen. It is hard to make out what exactly the remains consist of. There is one large capstone about 3.5 m by 3 m and about 0.7 m thick leaning up against a solitary remaining support stone on its southeast side. There are a couple of other large slabs laying flat to the ground at the east.
