thereddragon visited on 6th Apr 2014 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 The field had been recently ploughed so I jumped over the fence for some close ups.

TheCaptain visited on 29th Apr 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Another little Mayenne allée couverte about 6 or 7 metres in length facing uphill and eastwards. It is in fairly ruinous condition with only one capstone remaining at the top end of about 8 pairs of upright stones. There is a large end stone at the lower western end. It is found in open rolling countryside marked on my ign map but not signposted. At the time of my visit it was in an open field about a hundred metres down the farm track from the country lane where I parked. About 30 metres down from the dolmen was a fairly large stone at the side of the farmtrack. Possibly a marker stone for the tomb but I suspect more likely one of the stones from the allée couverte moved away and dumped at some point.

La Tardivière allée couverte, near Ernée in Mayenne, is a little Mayenne allée couvert about 6 or 7 metres in length facing uphill and eastwards. It is in fairly ruinous condition with only one capstone remaining at the top end of about 8 pairs of upright stones. There is a large end stone at the lower, western end.

It is found in open rolling countryside, marked on my ign map but not signposted. At the time of my visit it was in an open field, about a hundred metres down the farm track from the country lane where I parked.

About 30 metres down from the dolmen was a fairly large stone at the side of the farmtrack. Possibly a marker stone for the tomb, but I suspect more likely one of the stones from the allée couvert, moved away and dumped at some point.

La Tardivière Dolmen, allée couverte, Ernée, Mayenne, N 48.3288, W 00.9142 by gps.
Visited Friday, 29 April 2005. Access 4, Condition 2/3, Ambience 3.

Another little Mayenne allée couvert about 6 or 7 metres in length facing uphill and eastwards. It is in fairly ruinous condition with only one capstone remaining at the top end of about 8 pairs of upright stones. There is a large end stone at the lower, western end.

It is found in open rolling countryside, marked on my ign map but not signposted. At the time of my visit it was in an open field, about a hundred metres down the farm track from the country lane where I parked. About 30 metres down from the dolmen was a fairly large stone at the side of the farmtrack. Possibly a marker stone for the tomb, but I suspect more likely one of the stones from the allée couvert, moved away and dumped at some point.
