TheCaptain visited on 15th May 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 This was not at all like I was expecting to find so either the picture I had previously seen of this is of the wrong place or else this dolmen has had a nasty accident which has increased the remains !
I have to say it looks like a jumble of large rock slabs around a few trees in the middle of a field but it is possible to determine some side slabs and capstones of a long collapsed chamber. It is found just inside a field to the northwest of the D.61 road which goes southeast from Saint Pazanne after a couple of kilometres just before the road crosses the river at Port Faissant. It is signposted and on the ign map.
