TheCaptain couldn't find on 21st Jul 2005 I found no sign of any dolmen or other megalithic monument in this village, but there is a place called Pierre Brune on the 1:25000 map to the northwest of the village near the rubbish dump.

West of the village of Le Vigeant at a place called le Grand Fat is the remains of this dolmen.
