This is one with L-shaped groundplan?

or perhaps a corridor opening up to a rectangular chamber - do I see a stone outline to the chamber also to the right of the entry?

Yes, that is what i mean. Corridor to a rectangular chamber, but in this languedoc way (not symmetric to the chamber). So corridor + chamber look bit like an "L" from above.

Now back at home I can ask more precisely: Is the groundplan similar for example to the dolmen languedocien de la Gruella à Cornus (groundplan on Pl 22. in: Chevalier, Y., L'architecture des dolmens entre languedoc et centre-ouest de la france, Habelt, Bonn 1984)?

The chamber is rectangular, and the corridor is not in the middle, so it looks like an "L" from above.
I have a photo from october 2009 from the backside of the dolmen, it is a bad photo because of all the shadow.

Thank you very much for answering my question. So it really is of the type depicted for example on Pl. 22 in Yves Chevalier's book.
