TheCaptain visited on 8th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Despite asking, this dolmen was a difficult one to find. I parked and walked up Rue de la Butte expecting to find it there, but all I found was a natural rock outcrop with a cross on top However, the dolmen remains are about 50 metres to the north of this hillock, well hidden in the undergrowth.
There is not much to see of what was once an Allee Couverte, just a couple of stones left standing. There is the backstone and one sidestone standing, with several other bits of stone laying about, and remains of the passageway can be determined within what is left of its mound.
