TheCaptain visited on 18th Sep 2005 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Less than 100 metres away from Coste-Caude dolmen 1, to the southeast, can be found another dolmen. I just walked about a bit, and there it was. It still has a large pile of stones surrounding it, and the chamber has its side stones and backstone, but no capstone. The chamber is 2.5 metres by 1.5 metres, and also opens up to the southwest at 220°. I suspect there are several more dolmens around here.
