TheCaptain couldn't find on 26th May 2005 Above Salles-la-Source, to the northeast, are roadsigns to the supposedly nicely restored Peyrelebade dolmens. I parked the van and walked miles in the scorching heat along the track north towards Cadeyrac, but could not find the remains of the two dolmens. There are lots of possibilities for where they could be, but more signs are a necessity.

Dolmen de Peyrelebade 1 (Montaubert 1) is one of 66 known dolmens on the Causse Comtal in the community of Salles-la-Source, Departement of Aveyron, Region of Midi-Pyrénées. It has been restored.

Base Mérimée (Historic Monument)

johnstone: This dolmen has a classical structure, also called simple type, and lies in its tumulus. It has one (broken) capstone and has been restored in 1993. The tumulus is partly made up of dry stones. Can easily be reached by entering the field in the corner through the gate and walk 50 meters to the east.
