This megalithic tomb (although it is part of the 'Straße der Megalithkultur' - 'Route of the Megalithic Culture') is completely overgrown. It takes urgent care. I got the impression that somehow it was forgotten despite the signage.
Autun visited on 11th Aug 2021 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 5 August seems a poor time to visit, at least in 2021 - the site was totally overgrown with stinging nettles. The information board by the small road was clearly visible, and an excellent bench for taking a break during a cycle, but as you can see from my image, details were very difficult to make out.
