johnstone visited on 2nd Jul 2013 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 4

TheCaptain visited on 14th May 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 While at Dissignac there was a map showing a cycle ride which passed a cromlech a couple of kilometres to the south along Route du Cromlech so I went to have a look. Its easily found just north of the road junction and in a little piece of land between houses with its own signpost outside. It’s a little circle of stones about 5 metres in diameter and I suspect it’s the remains of a burial chamber indeed there seems to be an inner bit still with a capstone.

Sainte Marguerite Au Pé Dolmen
Sainte Marguerite Au Pé Dolmen submitted by AlexHunger : Marked as Cromlech on town signs, but clearly a very broken Allee Couverte. One capstone still perching on a smaller block, but other remaining portions of uprights forming vague circle. On small hill above Route de Cromlech in front of Pornichet houses.

Sainte Marguerite Au Pé Dolmen submitted by thecaptain : St Marc cromlech, a little circle of stones about 5 metres in diameter near St Nazaire. It’s the remains of a burial chamber, rather than a proper stone circle.
