TheCaptain visited on 22nd Jul 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Just beside the D.7 Road to the east of the station at Fromental is found this nice little dolmen, with a parking space and picnic area. The egg shaped capstone covers an oval chamber about 3 metres long and 2 metres wide. The pointed end points to the west, sitting on four slide slabs about 1.8 metres above the ground. It is open to both east and west ends.

A dolmen is a type of megalithic tomb usually consisting of at least three upright megaliths which support a large horizontal stone. This gives the impression of a giant stone table. My children just loved making up stories about giant people using this giant table for eating little children... the ones who didn't do what their parents said!
