Description La Table aux Diables allée couverte, Passais, Orne. The outer walling of the peristalith is almost complete, and there are many stones remaining of the cairn filling between the inner and outer walls in the northwest quadrant.

The double walling is interesting, see Dermot and Grainne's Bed near Lough Gur Wedge Tomb (I hate that word!) for comparison. http://www.megalithic.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=a312&file=index&do=showpic&pid=41566 I think it's often said this one is the only one of this construction in Ireland.
