TheCaptain visited on 10th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 2 Access: 5 This poor little dolmen is walled in within a carpark, which I suppose at least protects it a bit. It is superbly situated on a little headland which seperates the Saint-Gildas-de-Rhuys harbour from the beach - a very desireable place apart from the car park.
The dolmen is a simple dolmen with a little corridor, but it is not too easy to make it all out, there was possibly a lot more of it once, and it has probably been much modified. the single capstone is 3 metres by 1.5 metres, and there are half a dozen supports, with various other stones laying about.
