    thank you.

    I will check this at home, to make sure there are not two dolmens here, and remove any duplicate sitepage.

    Your help is appreciated

      A recent book I have got, has the dolmen La Caixeta pictured with a capstone on, so I dont know if it is the one above. The book gives three dolmens within La Camelas community, La Caixeta, Correch de Montou and Arques del Coll de Maure. There is also a key sentence at the end of the Caixeta description which reads something like "several dolmens have been noted in this region, and also several engraved rocks". I will do a bit of renaming!
