oldman visited on 19th Sep 2019 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Not as frequented as the nearby dolmen. Not really a path but there is a route through the trees so not difficult to find when you know it is at the top of the hill.
It seems that two capstones or a capstone broken in two are placed one under the other and the support stones are scattered all around.
I found no historical account except that it is recognized as the second dolmen of Saint Brice. It is a listed monument since 1934.
