TheCaptain visited on 31st May 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 A kilometre walk west of the village of Limogne-en-Quercy along the GR.65 long distance footpath and signposted, you come to this dolmen. Still sitting largely in its mound, the chamber is 3.5 metres long by 1.5 metres wide, facing to the east at 108°. The capstone is unfortunately broken, and only part remains covering the chamber.
When I was here, the surrounding area is covered in flowers of all shapes and colours, on a lovely warm sunny morning.
Average ratings for this site from all visit loggers: Condition: 3 Ambience: 4 Access: 3.67
It still sits largely in its mound, and the chamber is 3.5m long, 1,5 m wide and is oriented on 108°. Unfortunately the capstone is broken and now only partly covers the chamber.
