TheCaptain couldn't find on 7th Sep 2005 I couldn’t find any evidence on any maps I had, and asked at the tourist information office and national park centre, but nobody knew anything about this dolmen.
The dolmen is actually many kilometres to the south of Laruns along the D.934 road, beyond Lac de Fabreges and almost to the Spanish border.
situé à 1500 m. d'alt., fut fouillé en 1948 par G. LAPLACE qui y trouva des tessons de céramique et des ossements humains d'un homme d'une trentaine d'années.
