Description
At the far corner of the main chamber, is found another entranceway into a further chamber.
The entranceway is carved from two well fitted slabs, and has two grooves carved around it, rather like moulding round a more modern doorway.
Above and to the right of this doorway, in the main chamber is a very visible axe carved onto the wall slabs.

I have to admit, that when I was in the dark of this tomb with only a little torch, I hadnt spotted the carved axe. Only when I downloaded this photograph from my camera did I find that I had a clear picture of it. Far more clear in fact than these carvings normally turn out.
Someone was looking favourably on me this day, as I spent the rest of the day discovering many wonderful unexplored dolmens and tumuli in this fantastic area.

Hello Captain,
The real Neolithic axe carved is just on the back of this stelae. To find it you have to go inside the second chamber and you will find a large crook on the left side of the door. It is a wonderful and large carving (1,15 meters) dating around 4000 BC.
A good reason for you to organize a new visit :)

I do remember seeing the "crook" inside the small chamber, but have no photos
