TheCaptain visited on 17th Jul 2005 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 2 Access: 4 Not marked on any of my maps, but I found this mentioned from the same source that I found out the information about the nearby Pierre Folle. It is just to the east of the hamlet of Epennes, south of Bournand, about 300 metres from the road junction and across a field.
It looks to be a fairly standard 4 x 2.5 metre Angevine dolmen with its entrance to the south east, but it's all a bit of a wreck and overgrown. Unfortunately, the field it is in is cropped very close and damage looks to have been done by farm machinery recently.
Another dolmen hidden by a bush.
There is a little dirt track going next to the dolmen and a tree.
