TheCaptain visited on 19th Nov 2004 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 On the slopes of Mont Castré to the southwest of the village of Lithaire can be found a little leisure park surrounding a quarry with lake. From the car park, cross the lake and climb the steep path to the top of the quarry before following the path around the top to the right through the woods. After a few hundred metres you reach an open grassy area within which are the remains of two Allées Couverte, not marked on the IGN maps.
The first to be reached, northern, of these is in a very ruined state, with just some large stones of the central chamber remaining, and most of these are fallen. The length of the chamber can be traced for 9 metres, and some of the stones at the east end, including the eastern end stone, remain standing.
