TheCaptain couldn't find on 26th May 2005 Above Salles-la-Source, to the northeast, are roadsigns to the supposedly nicely restored Peyrelebade dolmens. I parked the van and walked miles in the scorching heat along the track north towards Cadeyrac, but could not find the remains of the two dolmens. There are lots of possibilities for where they could be, but more signs are a necessity.

Dolmen de Peyrelebade 2
Dolmen de Peyrelebade 2 submitted by Trine : Dolmen de Peyrelebade 2 (Google maps plus code : FG4P+6J) is located approximately midway between Peyrelebade 1 and Peyrelebade 3. It is in a wooded area to the right of the dirt road heading to the east. There's a large metal gate to enter the site. The dolmen has not been restored and is very overgrown. Still a beautiful site.
