TheCaptain visited on 9th Aug 2005 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 5 I have seen this referred to as both a dolmen and a polissoir, and can be found by the roadside just outside the village of Villiersfaux, and signposted from the Mairie. It is a big 5 m by 3 m lump of puddingstone, with a few other stones around and about it. It may well be the capstone of a collapsed dolmen, but on the top it has clearly been used as a polissoir stone. There are at the south end a couple of small grooves, and a couple of flats. This is not overly impressive, but its certainly here, and findable, unlike lots round here.
