    Thanks for the update for the co-ordinates. Do we know if the dolmen is now stored within the museum? If so, I can add it to the museum page. Thanks.

      The dolmen is set up on as pictured, not in the museum, but on the grounds. The museum grounds are freely open to the public.

Re: Auvernier Dolmen Position of site unknown by DrewParsons on Tuesday, 27 September 2011

I visited the coordinates given for this site in September 2011 and found a fenced area with a shed and building which was the depot for the Canonal Archaeological Department. Perhaps the dolmen is inside this enclosed area but there was no-one at the depot and it was locked so the site remains a mystery for me!!

    Thanks for your update, I hope my conversion from Swiss coordinates to WGS84 is correct.
