TheCaptain visited on 18th Jul 2005 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 3 This dolmen can be found about a kilometre walk along a farm track to the east of the Chantebrault dolmens, and then into a field by a wooded copse. It is fairly ruinous, just a large capstone balanced at a serious angle between the ground and one side support stone. It's about 4 metres square, and up to 2 metres from the ground. There are many more fallen stones here, but I cannot really make anything more out. The plough and crops come mighty close, and I suspect that they have wrecked much of what was here.

Thanks Captain, the dolmen looks much the same really. Those old postcards seem to enhance the stones some how. May be its because it is black and white with a tinge of colour. A very interesting site. Cheers.
