alchemille visited on 30th Mar 2011 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Very easy place to find, thank you for the coordinates. Some grass growing on the capstone. Some rubbish under the dolmen.
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.
