TheCaptain couldn't find on 4th Jun 2005 I looked all around the Pierre Levée farm, but could see nothing obvious, so I asked. I was told that there was once a dolmen here, but that it had been destroyed, and nothing remains of it today.

An historian from Oléron Island said that this dolmen is now in the gardens of the museum of Saint Pierre d'Oléron. I took the stone in picture but need to have some confirmation before doing something.
