TheCaptain visited on 19th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 3 This is a nice enough little dolmen, but a right bugger to find and get to, even though it is just 50 metres from the roadside. Firstly there was nowhere to park nearby, and once you have parked and walked back, the path to the dolmen is badly overgrown with the now obligatory ferns, gorse and blackthorn. Once I managed to get to it, the dolmen has a 2.5m by 2m capstone sitting nicely on three support stones and some vicious brambles which have just ripped my shirt. Ouch! Now to fight the gorse again.

Dolmen de Rostudel submitted by thecaptain : This little dolmen is out near the southern tip of the Crozon peninsula, but a right pain to find and get to, even though it is just 50 metres from the roadside. It's surrounded by vicious gorse and brambles which ripped my shirt. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Once I managed to get to it, the dolmen has a 2.5m by 2m capstone sitting nicely horizontal on three support stones.

While here some vicious brambles ripped my shirt.
