oldman visited on 13th Oct 2019 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Grassy capstone. Brambles beginning to take over. Small sign at roadside. Infrequently visited.
TheCaptain visited on 21st Jul 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 This dolmen is a kilometre or so to the south of the village of Andillé, and can be found in the round wooded area behind the lone house to the northwest of the road. The wooded area is perhaps the remains of a tumulus surrounding the dolmen, which is a nicely made rectangular dolmen. A single capstone sits on top of a 3.5m by 2.5 m chamber, made with two sidestones each side, two backstones and a single stone at the east end, where the entrance is. This is a nice find, especially after missing it twice yesterday.
TheCaptain couldn't find on 20th Jul 2005 Most of the fields around here have a bunch of bushes in the middle of them. I went over to two, but they both looked just like field clearance piles. There wasn't anywhere to properly park, nor to turn round and go back to where I think the dolmen must be, so I missed this one. I must try harder.
