alchemille visited on 2nd Aug 2013 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 2 Access: 1 The dolmen of Peyrelevade (raised stone in occitan ) is found in a privetly own wood before we reach the hamlet of Fouret coming from the D78, near the commune of Condat-sur-Trincou, Dordogne, France. There is an homonymous dolmen in the outskirts of Brantome, a few kms near Condat.
The capstone is red and gray; the stone is a sidérolithique, a very hard rock composed mainly of iron and silicon, found probably in the Correze department, in the Limousin region. The dolmen is partly distroyed, the capstone is tilted on a side and measures 3.40m by 2.40m.
There is a path to get to the dolmen once you enter the wood, but it is very difficult to find this path. At one time the council tried to attract punters there, but that seems to be some time ago, there are brambles everywhere and overgrown bushes. The signs are all broken and scattered about.
TheCaptain couldn't find on 17th May 2005 A couple of kilometres east of Brantôme is marked a dolmen on my ign map but despite trying hard to find it I saw no signs of anything and there was nowhere at all to park on very small country lanes to get out and have a proper look.
