alchemille visited on 4th Jun 2012 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Easy to find in the road to Vitrac from Sarlat, in the area called Lieu dit Peyrelevade, Departamental road: D55.
TheCaptain visited on 20th May 2005 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 5 What I found here was a tiny little dolmen right beside the road which is being incorporated into a garden wall a few kilometres south of Sarlat-le-Caneda on top of a hill towards Vitrac. The capstone is not 2 metres by 2 metres and sits on a couple of stones both less than a foot in size. Its probable that there was more to this dolmen which is now under some trees and in the garden wall.

It is situated along the little road between Vitrac and Sarlat and marked on french IGN map. Interesting capstone with a lot of engraved cups.
