TheCaptain visited on 16th May 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 3 This was a bit of a bugger to find what with road building schemes and diversions taking me miles away and then very narrow lanes with tight corners and no passing places through Cognac vineyard country. There was nothing obvious so I parked and asked people at the farm who gladly pointed me to some trees in the middle of a freshly planted field of maize. “C’est sous l’arbre un tres jolie photo”. I was assured it was OK for me to walk through the field to go and have a look so carefully I did.
Well hidden under the trees (elder hawthorn and a big walnut tree) is a nice little dolmen with a rectangular chamber about 3 metres by 2 metres with a single capstone on top about a metre thick. There are about 6 support slabs still in place and a few more broken or fallen. Its well liked by rabbits and other local wildlife and the chamber is absolutely full of walnut shells and sweetcorn remains.
