TheCaptain visited on 12th Aug 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Just at the northern edge of the village of Miré, just off the main D.27 roadnorth, and beside a little side road can be found this dolmen. It's a tall dolmen with a single capstone covering a squarish chamber of about 3 metres dimension, and over 2 metres tall. With it being right at the side of the road, it cant be sure that it's not been altered at all, and there are some rather large gaps in the stones. There are 4 support stones, two of them being large slabs, the other two fairly slender.
