I have visited· I would like to visit

TheCaptain visited on 3rd May 2005 Having failed to find this after several attempts yesterday, the next day I checked out the position of this dolmen on the ign 1:25000 map in the supermarket and it looked simple to find so thought I’d have another go. Its north of the town on the little road that runs on the west side of the Risle river. Just past the hamlet of La Forge it should be between the very small road and the river. After I eventually found somewhere to park and walked back about a kilometre the dolmen is nigh on impossible to spot. But there it is in a very private garden with double barbed wire fences a large hedge and guard dogs the dolmen can be spotted through the trees about 70 metres away from the road. Getting a picture is a different matter! It looks a bit like the one at Verneusses with a large capstone on several supports.

This dolmen is situated just to the north of the town of Rugles near to the little road that runs along the west side of the Risle river. Just past the hamlet of La Forge it is between the very small road and the river.

After I eventually found somewhere to park and walked back about a kilometre, the dolmen is nigh on impossible to spot. But it is there in a very private garden with double barbed wire fences, a large hedge and guard dogs.

The dolmen can just about be spotted through the trees about 70 metres away from the road.

Dolmen de la Forge, Rugles, Eure.
Visited Tuesday, 3rd May 2005. Access 1, Condition , Ambience .

Checked out the position of this dolmen on the ign 1:25000 map in the supermarket, and it looked simple to find, so thought I’d have another go, after several failures to negotiate the narrow one way streets in the town yesterday.

Its north of the town on the little road that runs on the west side of the Risle river. Just past the hamlet of La Forge, it should be between the very small road and the river. After I eventually found somewhere to park and walked back about a kilometre, the dolmen is nigh on impossible to spot. But there it is, in a very private garden, with double barbed wire fences, a large hedge and guard dogs, the dolmen can be spotted through the trees about 70 metres away from the road. Getting a picture is a different matter!

It looks a bit like the one at Verneusses, with a large capstone on several supports.
