johnstone visited on 28th Aug 2018 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5

TheCaptain visited on 2nd Sep 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 4 A bit to the west of the first dolmen, along the track running along the southern edge of the airfield, and you soon come to another dolmen. This one has lost its mound, which has no doubt been used to build the local walls, and it is standing proud at the edge of a flat area used for dumping rubble etc. Its a fairly standard southern French dolmen, with two 4 metre long sideslabs and a backstone between them, topped with a capstone, making a chamber 3 metres by 2 metres. There is some evidence of a front closing stone, and the chamber faces eastwards on a bearing of 095°.
