TheCaptain visited on 20th Mar 2008 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 2 Access: 4 Revisiting this in March 2008, and it was not so overgrown as it had been in June 2005, but it was still impossible to tell how long the allée couverte was, with the eastern end all covered in very thick brambles and other bushes. The more open western end has one or two capstones still sitting on top of their supports, with the two side walls of the allée being about 1.5 metres apart.
TheCaptain visited on 28th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 2 Access: 4 Just beside the D.676 Dinan to Dol road, at the top of the hill to the east of the hamlet of La Ganterie where the road is a dual carriageway, there is a place to park. From here the allée couverte is signposted along a trackway into a wood, and just 50m along this well tended path the remains are to be found. It is almost impossible to see what is here though, as it is all totally overgrown. It might be a very long allée couverte going by the length of the bramble growth.
I find it very odd that the signposts and path are so well tended, yet the monument is so completely neglected. Never mind, it is still here with us.
