TheCaptain visited on 9th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 4 This is what looks like a little allée-couverte, and is actually signposted and with a little clearing around it for visits. It is to be found just behind the Moulin a Fée, a prototype wind generator built inside an old windmill, and looking just like an old windmill except with a modern whirring sound rather than the old style noises which would be expected.
The chamber is about 6 metres long by 1 metre wide, and faces southeast at 125°. There are 4 capstones in place, sitting on top of many sidestones. Closer inspection shows it to have an oval chamber, 2.5 m by 2.0 m at the end of a curving entrance corridor. Is it a bad restoration job, or is it some intermediate stage between a dolmen a couloir and an allée-couverte ?
I was expecting to find two megalithic burial monuments here, but look as much as i could, I couldn't find another one, which is probably in the undergrowth in or around a wheatfield.
