This dolmen can be found a few hundred metres down a track to the south west of the village of Trois-Moutiers, where it resides just inside a field which was full of sunflowers when I visited, which meant that i could not get right to the dolmen.
What I could see is a large capstone sat on top of some sort of support stones at one end, and the ground at the other.
