thereddragon visited on 18th Oct 2012 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 4 What a lovely little dolmen. And a cist to boot.
From thereddragon.
"East of Les Forges on the D56, take turning for L'Ourière-le-Creux. Carry straight on and when the road bends to the right, there should be a track straight ahead. You're not allowed to drive down the track so you have to park near this junction. The ensemble is signposted by a small wooden sign. Lovely setting!
Thanks to Anne at the Domfront tourist office who explained the exact location of this site. She speaks excellent English and knows the area very well. And has gained access for the public to a number of neolithic sites in the area. Brilliant job!"
