This dolmen can be found between Meschers sur Gironde and Semussac. At the crossroad of the silo, take the white postsigns "Beloire", "Beauregard". The dolmen is on the left, right next to the road and not in the middle of the field.

This dolmen was breaking up before 1900 but the stones were left on the site. In the sixties or in the seventies an archeologist decided to move it up at the same place.

It has another name: dolmen de Beauregard, given from a farm around.

It is also in poudingue stone. It is less than 1.50 meter high and but the capstone is almost 2 meters long.

A lovely axe-hammer was discovered not far away from the domen. It was in green dolerite, it was 18 centimers long and 5,5 centimers large. It is now in the museum of Royan.
