alchemille visited on 25th May 2013 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 5 I ve just visited today La Pierre Folle de Negrignac. A dolmen near the village of Palais de Negrignac. The dolmen is close to the Lavoir and it is easy accessible. I found though lots of burned wood and beer tins behind the capstone.

TheCaptain couldn't find on 3rd Jun 2005 This I couldn’t find, and I could find no mention of it in the village. It is somewhere to the southeast of the village.

Remains of this dolmen are to be found to the southeast of the village of St-Palais-de-Négrignac. Excavated in 1989, eight skeletons were discovered.
