TheCaptain visited on 11th Jun 2005 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 In an area on top of a hill overlooking a stream is the hamlet of Le Palastre, with its dolmen. I found quite a few stones here, but was not sure what the official dolmen is ! There is lots of big stones around, none of which looked too convincingly like a dolmen as opposed to natural. The best fit to the map is a series of three large boulders in a row, in the front of somebodies garden right in the centre of the hamlet. There are also some significant looking stones a bit down the hill beside the chapel yard wall. I have since learned that I dont think I found the dolmen, which is positioned somewhere behind the house.

The best fit to the map seemed to be a series of three large boulders in a row, in the front of somebodies garden right in the centre of the hamlet.
But there are also some significant looking stones a bit down the hill beside the chapel yard wall. And many other big stones dotted about the place.
I have since learned that I dont think I found the "official" dolmen, which is positioned somewhere behind the house with the stone alignment.
