TheCaptain visited on 30th May 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 3 Signposted as dolmens from the centre of the village of Limogne-en-Quercy, this dolmen is more than a kilometres walk along a trackway. The dolmen is still partly within its mound, and is notable for the thickness of its capstone, which is a rectangular 3 m by 2 m in size, but is a metre thick. The chamber is 2.5 metres by 1.5 metres in size, and opens to the southeast at 121°.
Unfortunately, there is quite a bit of rubbish here, with remains of fires, picnics and candles along with all the usual broken beer bottles.

This dolmen is still partly within its mound, and is notable for the thickness of its capstone, the size of which is about 3m by 2m rectangular, but nearly a metre thick. The chamber is 2.5m by 1.5m and aligned at 121°.
The dolmen is signposted from the village of Limogne-en-Quercy, but is more than a kilometres walk up a signposted track. Ideal for an off road bike trip, along with many other dolmens in this area !
Unfortunately, when I was here, there was a lot of rubbish strewn around, which included fires and candles, as well as the usual bottles and junk food wrappings, which rather spoiled what could have been a very nice site for an evenings walk.
