TheCaptain visited on 18th Sep 2005 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 A kilometre or so to the southeast of La Vacquerie, at a place called Trivalle, take the road east signposted to Dolmen du Ferrussac. After a couple of kilometres, while descending through an oak wood, you will see a little gate on the left, with label Petit Dolmen. There is a place to park, and the dolmen is just 20 metres beyond the gate, at the top of a higher bit of ground. The chamber is 2m by 1m and still partly within its mound, with an entrance opening to 235°. The capstone sits on top of two sidestones and a backslab, with some degree of restoration involved. A very pleasant little place.

Petit Dolmen du Ferrussac
Petit Dolmen du Ferrussac submitted by stewart : A very pretty little dolmen although somewhat overshadowed by its bigger brother just down the road. The capstone is around 2.5m by 1.9m The Ferrussac dolmens are on the D130 between La Trivalle and St Maurice de Navacelles. (Vote or comment on this photo)
