This dolmen was (or is) in the park of the romantic manor of the abbot Michon.
More information from taupin:
This burial chamber is situated on a private property with no admittance access. It is really a little dolmen, almost a miniature: 1.2 m height, about 1.8 long and 1.5 wide. The capstone about 0.8 m on thickness is probably put on only two slabs. I can't get nearer to confirm it.
Situated in a park of a baroque castle where lived Abbot MICHON, an historian of the XIXe century who wrote many books notably "La statistique monumentale de la Charente" within which are inventoried many megalithic monuments.
