oldman visited on 22nd Sep 2019 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Attractive little Dolmen which was well worth a look even on the very wet morning that we payed it a visit.

TheCaptain visited on 6th Sep 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 This dolmen can be found in a nice little landscaped bit of parkland, sandwiched between the D.920 road and the railway line at the outskirts of the village of Buzy a couple of kilometres to the north of Arudy. There are many other rocks in the park, which have probably all been placed as features, but perhaps one or two are related to the dolmen. It sits on top of a little hillock, which I wonder whether these are the remains of a large tumulus ? The chamber is largely below the level of the surrounding ground. The dolmen has a lovely curvy capstone sitting on top of a chamber 4 metres long by 1,5 metres wide, with nicely positioned side slabs each side (3 one side, 4 the other). There is a well fitted backstone, and the chamber opens to the southeast on an alignment of 135°, but perhaps more importantly this is looking directly towards the big gap in the mountains, which is the entry to the Ossau valley. If it wasn't for the bad weather, and all the trees around, this dolmen would have superb views. I think that I later learn that the dolmen was possibly moved to its current position when the railway was constructed.

This nice dolmen can be found in a little landscaped bit of parkland, sandwiched between the D.920 road and the railway line at the outskirts of the village of Buzy a couple of kilometres to the north of Arudy in Pyrénées-Atlantiques.

There are many other rocks in the park, which have possibly been placed as features, but perhaps are related to the dolmen. It sits on top of a little hillock, which I wonder whether these are the remains of a large tumulus, as the chamber is largely below the level of the surrounding ground.

If it wasnt for the bad weather, and all the trees around, this dolmen would have superb views.

This dolmen was moved from its original position when the railway was constructed, and after first being taken to Pau, was replaced in a position near to its original place. A little lanscaped area was made, to try and represent the original location of the dolmen.

Found nearby to this dolmen was a slab of rock, known as the Téberne Petroglyph, now removed to Arudy museum, which has several carvings of spirals and concentric circles.
