TheCaptain visited on 12th Jul 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 4 To the west of Bigan, and signposted from there, can be found this dolmen almost completely still within its large mound, just over the road from the easily found allée couverte. The mound must be about 25 metres in diameter, and up to 5 metres high within woodland. The rectangular chamber is about 3 metres by 2 metres, and covered by a single capstone. The entry passageway to the chamber, although now completely fallen and dug into, comes off the chamber and exits to the outside at the east after turning through almost a right angle, a bit like a small version of the Bono tumulus.
