Silver1 visited on 1st Apr 2016 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 1 We have a house nearby and even with the coordinates giving us an idea of where it was it took several visits over a couple of years to find! Don't try it during the summer or autumnas the bracken is too high and the undergrowth too thick. Best approach is from the field track to the south. Turn N off this track when you get to the tallest tree - it is obvious when you get there - and march straight in due noirth. The dolmen is all but buried with the capstone just above ground level but is recogniseable for what it is. Tip: Start looking for the alignment Bois Noir (adjacent to it) once you have located the sepulchre Bois Noir - it made the search easier for us as there are numerous stone outcrops that you can spend hours scratching your head about!.
