TheCaptain couldn't find on 23rd Jul 2005 To the east of Felletin, on the D.10 road to Crocq, is supposedly this dolmen, at the hamlet of Croix Blanche. I looked long and hard but found nothing except for a sign telling me about it, and how it had had a grant from various people for restoration in 1987-89. Apparently its an Angevin dolmen, but whether its in the dense woodland, or in the field of tall sweetcorn, I do not know! There was nobody around to ask.
When looking for this in 2005, I looked long and hard but found nothing except for a sign telling me about it, and how it had had a grant from various people for restoration in 1987-89.
Apparently its an Angevin dolmen, but whether it was in the dense woodland, or in the field of tall sweetcorn, I did not not know! There was nobody around to ask. Now with the advent of Geoportail, and Google Maps it can be seen on the aerial photo in what was the field of sweetcorn.
