Peyrefit dolmen
Peyrefit dolmen submitted by ocdolmen : Peyrefit's dolmen is, for me, one of the most beautiful dolmens of the department of the Lot. Most impressive is the very important thickness of the table in limestone, 1 metre which is in fact the thickest in the region of Quercy. A big cup is engraved on the top of the capstone. In the same area, we can also see the very beautiful dolmen of Artillou. (Vote or comment on this photo)
