Just to the west of the village of Tripleville can be found this stone. Is it the remains of a dolmen, or is it just a polissoir stone? Or perhaps a combination of both ?
I had a good walk all around the south and east of the village of Tripleville, but did not manage to find this megalith. It is perhaps in the trees in the back garden of a house, behind the large woodshed.
