TheCaptain couldn't find on 31st May 2005 Near to the Balach farm a couple of kilometres south of Lalbenque along the D6 I could find no easy way through to this dolmen with the fields being electrically fenced to keep a herd of bullocks in and a barley crop growing in another field so I gave up after a reasonable try.

johnstone in 2018:
Follow the country road to the south-east starting at the D6 in Le Cuzoul; after 200 m turn to the east and then 150 m further on the right side you find Cuzoul-1. Follow the same country road until a turn to the north; don't go there but straight ahead to the east, across the bushes for about 150 m. It's laying next to the barbes wires.
