Burial Chamber or Dolmen in Aquitaine:Dordogne (24)

L'emplacement du dolmen La Peyre à Hautefort a été retrouvé dans un pré. La couverture visuelle vers le nord et l'est est impressionnante. Mais le monument n'occupait pas le point haut.
Il devait faire environ 3m 30 sur 1m 50, avec une orientation ~ 115/120°
La veine d'eau qui passe sous l'emplacement sort à 200m à l'est le long de la RD 704.
