TheCaptain visited on 12th Jul 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 A pleasant little allée couverte which cn be found round the back of the farm of the same name. Although the eastern end is very damaged, the passageway can be seen to be about 10 metres long. Many of the sidestones lean on each other, and with the lack of capstones I wonder whether it is of the Arc Boutté type. At the western end there is a fairly large chamber covered by a single capstone, making it look almost like a dolmen a couloir. Behind the closing stone is a little extra chamber, as is often the case.
