TheCaptain visited on 11th Jul 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 This is a massive slab of rock deep in the forest, found by following a trackway which now has a private sign on it, but I went for a look anyhow. I would think it is a natural slab of granite with its dimensions 10 metres by up to 5 metres, but it would appear to have been used as a capstone to a burial chamber under the eastern end, which has been dug underneath and surrounded with a couple more slabs. Whatever it is, this is a nice place to find.

Another mysterious rock around Trédion. Very large slab covered with basins and grooves. It does not seem to be a real dolmen. It’s hard to tell something about the construction. Or it is an erratic with deep traces of erosion.
