TheCaptain visited on 31st May 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 This dolmen is found a couple of kilometres to the northwest of Laramière, along the GR.36 footpath, but which for this stretch is a driveable track. It is then a hundred or so metres walk into the forest, but signposted.
This is another much larger than average dolmen for round here, still mostly contained within its mound. Unfortunately, at some time in the past, the capstone and chamber ends have been broken and incorporated into a wall. The chamber is over 4 metres in length, 2 metres wide and 2 metres high, and faces substantially to the south of east, at 147°. The capstone was probably once nicely shaped, and 3.5 metres wide at the front end. There are other dolmens to be found in the woods around here.
