TheCaptain saw from a distance on 10th Aug 2005 It's difficult to get to see this dolmen, as it resides in the grounds of a big private chateau, and cannot be visited. However I was just able to catch a glimpse of it from the front gate of the house. It is in the parkland at the east side, with trees around it. It looks a nice tidy dolmen with capstone still in place.

Dolmen du Château de Pierrefitte submitted by lafemmedepierre : Site in Centre:Indre-et-Loire (37) France Nous avons eu la chance de rencontrer un familier du château qui nous a invité à nous approcher du dolmen. Qu'il soit ici remercié. Il s'agit d'une restauration. La pierre a de beaux tons ocre-rouge. La table comporte une belle cuvette de polissage sur le dessus. Photos prises le 18 08 2017.
