TheCaptain visited on 12th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 3 Blimey, this dolmen is not hidden in dense woodland ! It is to be found in an open field at the top of a little raise, but the field was closed off with an electric fence, so I didn’t go in to see the dolmen at close quarters.
