Re: La Noë Dolmen by TheCaptain on Wednesday, 11 May 2005

Dolmen de la Forge, Rugles, Eure.
Visited Tuesday, 3rd May 2005. Access 1, Condition , Ambience .

Checked out the position of this dolmen on the ign 1:25000 map in the supermarket, and it looked simple to find, so thought I’d have another go, after several failures to negotiate the narrow one way streets in the town yesterday.

Its north of the town on the little road that runs on the west side of the Risle river. Just past the hamlet of La Forge, it should be between the very small road and the river. After I eventually found somewhere to park and walked back about a kilometre, the dolmen is nigh on impossible to spot. But there it is, in a very private garden, with double barbed wire fences, a large hedge and guard dogs, the dolmen can be spotted through the trees about 70 metres away from the road. Getting a picture is a different matter!

It looks a bit like the one at Verneusses, with a large capstone on several supports.


Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
