TheCaptain visited on 27th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Just beside the D.52 road, 3 km north of the village, and a km south of La Bouille and all its industrial sites, can be found this allée couverte, either in somebodies garden, or a little public area besides. The remains are a bit of a jumble, but an allée almost 10 metres long aligned at 050° is clear. Whether it has an external cell at the western end, or whether its a fallen capstone I can not be sure, but the chamber appears to be divided. A pleasant little find, and lots of nice foxgloves growing here at the time of my visit.
