burial chamber in Midi-Pyrénées:Tarn-et-Garonne

Butte-St-Simon is a burial chamber in the community of Montpezat-de-Quercy, Departement of Tarn-et-Garonne, Region of Midi-Pyrénées.
The megalith stands at the southern side of the D57-road which makes the border with Belfort-du-Quercy, departement Lot.

It did not have a capstone for many years but recently someone put a capstone at the uprights, consolidated with some wooden shelfs.
Around the captone, the holes are filled with "dry stones", some amateur must have been very busy!

See T4T35 for the dolmen without capstone : Mégalithes du monde
