TheCaptain visited on 4th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 2 Access: 5 This dolmen comes with its own block of flats, "Residence du Dolmen", which is currently for sale, in the western outskirts of Cognac, not too far from the big sports centre.
The 4.5 by 2.5 metre chamber is covered by a single large capstone, held up on 8 external support stones and with another stone on the inside, but it is not very high off the ground. It would not surprise me at all if this has been somewhat modified for safety reasons, as it is now part of a sort of play area surrounded by blocks of flats. But at least it is still here, and nice to look at.
