 Dolmen de la Rente de Fontevrault
Dolmen de la Rente de Fontevrault submitted by Rubis : Other name of the dolmen: dolmen du Champ des Dames. I didn't see the support stones, maybe are they buried in the ground? Site in Poitou:Vienne (86) France Dolmen de la Rente de Fontevrault Champ des Dames Bernazay (B) (Vote or comment on this photo)
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.

    Yes, it is my description, but for what now seems to be la Pierre Crapaud. I have added a couple of my pictures from 2005 for comparison.

Seeing the pictures and descriptions from Rubis of this and La Pierre Crapaud, it seems the site I visited was La Pierre Crapaud, and that I missed half a dozen other ruined dolmens here !
