Sénévaut dolmen
Sénévaut dolmen submitted by GrahamSmith : An almost hidden dolmen, but well worth finding (Vote or comment on this photo)
Dolmen located off the D20 Nuret le Feron - Douadic road, along a dirt track (vehicle passable) signposted "Dolmen", then through a "wire stile" on the left, along a grass track, through another wire stile, up a large open field, and in a small copse to the right.

Lovely aspect, peaceful position.

The small, irregular capstone is easily visible, while the uprights are almost buried.

I thought I had updated this sitepage last week, but obviously it has not taken it. I have done it again.

Using the Geoportail website, and taking position from where it is marked on the map, I get a position of N46.6636, E1.2574. All of these various coordinates are to all practical intents and purposes the same, within just a few metres from each other, and assuming you are taking your data from a hand held gps receiver, especially considering the dolmen is within a wooded area, these are all within the usual accuracies.

I've just been to this site and it can be a bit tricky to find. The exact co-ordinates are: N: 46.66380 E: 1.25701. It is in amongst a cluster of trees on a hill in a field. The way to the Dolmen itself is signposted from the Route De Ciron. Its a nice place, very serene and peaceful.
