Re: La Courbe Dolmen by TheCaptain on Tuesday, 10 May 2005

Pierre Tournoire, La Courbe, Orne, N 48.7472, W 00.1828
Visited Sunday, 1st May 2005. Access 4, Condition 2, Ambience 3.

Marked on one of my maps as a menhir, and another as a dolmen, I have no reason to believe there are not the remains of both somewhere in the vicinity, as well as an Iron Age encampment.

What I found was a single stone standing on the ridge of a promontory overlooking the river Orne. Its about 1.5 metres tall, and made of a funny crumbly orangey sandstone full of holes. There was lots of other loose stone around its base, probably fallen from the disintegrating menhir, which is 1.5 metres wide at its base and about 0.7 m thick.
