A suggestion :
it is correct that the nearest hamlet is Les Sablons (community Douadic).
But the adress of the dolmen is in fact on the community of Rosnay...

    Thanks for your info.
    Though according to website t4t35 it all is correct.
    In fact there seemingly are two sites in this area:
    1) this sitepage: Dolmen de Pierre-à-la-Fade (Rosnay commune)
    2) Dolmen de Sablons is approx. 700m to the West and indeed located in commune de Doaudic. We already have a site page Dolmen de Sablons site page for it.
