MenhirHunters visited on 8th Mar 2014 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Since the last photos were taken it seems as if they have cleaned up the site and no more hedges cover the remaining stones. If you visit the site in spring, the crop is still low and you can walk right up to the dolmen rather easily.

TheCaptain visited on 27th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 3 Despite supposedly having a footpath to it, and being only 80 metres to the east of the D.768 road between Créhen and Trégon, this dolmen proved difficult for me to get right up to, in its field of barley. I have seen it described as an allée couverte, but it looked more like a simple dolmen to me, unless there is much of it ruined and not visible amongst the crops. At least one capstone is held up proudly in place for all to see as they drive past.
