TheCaptain saw from a distance on 2nd May 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 2 Access: 3 About half a kilometre south of the village of Echauffour can be seen in a field to the east of the road the remains of a dolmen of which a large capstone can be seen resting on some uprights. I could find nowhere to stop nearby so I parked some distance away and walked to try and get a closer look. This is a nasty busy road with lots of lorries thundering past and I found no way into the field and only got a couple of distant shots. I hate the smell of rapeseed and it brings on my asthma but the yellow flowers of it in a distant field made a reasonable background to the pictures helping the stones stand out against their surroundings.

La Pierre Levée dolmen, Echauffour, Orne.
Visited Monday, 2nd May 2005. Access 3, Condition 3, Ambience 2.

About half a kilometre south of the village of Echauffour, can be seen in a field to the east of the road the remains of a dolmen, of which a large capstone can be seen resting on some uprights. I could find nowhere to stop nearby, so I parked some distance away and walked to try and get a closer look. This is a nasty busy road with lots of lorries thundering past, and I found no way into the field, and only got a couple of distant shots. I hate the smell of rapeseed, and it brings on my asthma, but the yellow flowers of it in a distant field made a reasonable background to the pictures, helping the stones stand out against their surroundings.
