littleocky visited on 28th May 2022 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 5 Fairly easy to find because it is signposted and we could park in the field close to it. There are information boards and a picnic table. Certainly worth seeing.

Looked down the line of the stones and the entrance aligned with the spire at nearby passais la conception??
TheCaptain visited on 24th Apr 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Blimey what a pleasure to find this monument signposted from the Mantilly to Passais road as well as marked on the ign map. Heading south along the small road just west of Passais and turn right just before a little fishing lake is reached. A few hundred yards up a small track and the monument is found in a field to the right.
A surprise find this is a smashing little lateral entry Allée Couvert is about 12 or 13 metres in length with an orientation of 049° Magnetic. The main chamber is about 1.5 metres in width with 4 large capstones still remaining on 6 pairs of uprights at the western end with a height of 2 metres at the end dropping to 1.5 metres at the open end. The eastern end is more ruinous and the entrance is near the eastern end on the south side. The internal faces of the chamber stones have been nicely smoothed and are very well aligned with each other the gaps being filled with drystone walling. The outer walling of the peristalith is almost complete around the northern side and there are many stones remaining of the cairn filling between the inner and outer walls in the northwest quadrant. Only about half of the outer wall of stones remain on the southern side.
