TheCaptain visited on 13th Aug 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 The remains of this monument can be found a few kilometres northwest of Fougères, along the D.17 road towards St-Germain-en-Cogles. It is signposted, but not very clearly, and there is a little trackway and fenced off area around it. At first I thought it was the remains of a dolmen with entry corridor, but further investigation in the undergrowth suggested to me that it is the remains of a well damaged allée couverte. One capstone remains in place on top of some largish stones, with the sideslabs of a passageway leading off towards the east. It looks like there was perhaps another chamber nearby, indeed perhaps the whole thing was once several passageways and chambers within a single mound, of which traces around it survive.

This is a slightly confusing site. I have since found references that state that there are the remains of two parallel allée couvertes here, which is almost certainly what I found.

However, a bit further to the north (I think) is also meant to be a 2 metre tall menhir, and remains of a further dolmen with entry corridor.

Obviously a site for further investigation.
