TheCaptain visited on 9th Aug 2005 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 3 On a west facing slope in the middle of a field, a kilometre or so to the north of the village of Huisseau-en-Beauce, can be found the remains of this dolmen. It is reached by finding the Rue des Dolmens, and then a difficult kilometre walk along farmtracks, across streams and fields. It was once an Angevin type dolmen with a 3.5 metre by 2 metre rectangular chamber, with its entrance porchway at the east. Unfortunately it was dynamited at the end of the 19th century, and so is not much more than a large pile of stones now. However, the basic ground plan can be made out.
