I have visited· I would like to visit

TheCaptain couldn't find on 22nd Nov 2004 The remains of a second Allée Couverte is said to exist to the southeast of Rocheville, a few hundred yards from the Allée Couverte de la Petite Roche, just outside the Bois de la Grosse Roche, near the hamlet of Catillon. It is said to be 17metres in length, southwest to northeast aspect, with a side entrance, and also with a dolmen type structure at the northeastern end. I had a good look round all the lanes and trackways in the Catillon area, but could not find anything. The one person I found to ask knew nothing of it. Is it possible that this monument has been destroyed ?
