TheCaptain visited on 21st Jul 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Even having the detailed map, finding this dolmen was not easy. Go south along the track from the east end of the hamlet of Pouzac, then go right at the crossroads of trackways. Go along here for 100 metres and then the dolmen is to be found in the southern side of the southern hedge, and is getting a bit overgrown. It is a little limestone simple dolmen, with a capstone about 3 m by 2 m sat up off the ground on several broken support stones, with its entrance towards the east.
TheCaptain couldn't find on 20th Jul 2005 I could find absolutely no sign of this. I should have the few minutes extra in the shop to have a look at or buy the 1:25000 map, rather than think I could go without.
