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.
