TheCaptain couldn't find on 22nd May 2005 The book I have says this one is 100 metres from the D.2 road near Marsalès at a place called Borie-Neuve so I thought this one was findable and worth a go. I found Borie-Neuve easily enough but no obvious dolmen. So I looked round all the lanes and tracks in the vicinity but still found nothing. There was nobody here to ask so I had a look in the forest here but its all thick undergrowth and there's no way of finding anything without knowing where to look. Why oh why don’t they all have signposts or at least footpaths to them ?

Remains of two Aquitaine Allées Couverte are to be found in the forest, both about 7 metres long, and about 20 metres from each other.

This dolmen is in fact an "Allee Couverte" but the monument has a lot suffered.
Its french name "Maison du Loup" comes from its occitan name "Ostal dau Lop" = The Wolf House.

Maison du Loup dolmen 1 submitted by paulcall : This is a tricky monument to find, even with ocdolmen's GPS co-ordinates, and its proximity to the east side of the D2 road north of Montpazier. It is found in a clearing just north of the turnoff to Borie-Neuve, but there is a lot of secondary growth and only the top of the largest stone can be seen from the road. This view shows the allee couverte from the west. (Vote or comment on this photo)

C'est une allée couverte: le pictogramme peut être modifié! L'allée n°2 est une réplique plus petite de la n°1, de m^me orientation.

My notes of an unsuccessful visit in May 2005.

I found Borie-Neuve easily enough but no obvious dolmen. So I looked round all the lanes and tracks in the vicinity but still found nothing.
