ELindey visited on 20th Jul 2020 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 1

TheCaptain couldn't find on 4th Jun 2005 These two dolmens are within the confines of an airfield, which has a big military base on the northern side of the runway, and a little flying club at the south. I could not get to very near to where the dolmens are marked on my map, so didn’t try very hard to get close enough for a photo.

Inside the grounds of the French Air Force officers training base, the two dolmens were moved from their original position to build the runway.

The dolmens have been positioned within the landscaped grounds of the high security base, and cannot be visited without special permission, hence the 1 for access.

Only some few stones remain. It is always there where they were all together. (Vote or comment on this photo)
