TheCaptain visited on 18th Jul 2005 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 2 Access: 4 In the back garden of a house to the north west of the St Laon village centre, and not far from a busy road, can be found the remains of this. Whatever this dolmen was, it has been altered about with quite a bit, including fairly recently being dug into on the west side to be made into a goat house. What there is looks a bit like an allée couverte 6 metres long by 2 metres wide, but probably was an Angevine dolmen. There is a nice donkey over the road wanting a fuss.
