Just a 100m or so north of the surviving dolmen, but this wrecked site showed signs of being rather large once the thick leaves were scraped back from the capstone, and the other sunken stones scattered about. Fairly easy to find as the paths leaving St Philibert into the woods are signposted with arrows to the other dolmen, however once in the woods you need some luck, but these are positioned fairly accurately on the Megalithic Portal map.
