Description
Pierre Couverte de la Pagerie is megalithic in the true sense of the word. To illustrate the size a human serves as scale in this one. Measuring ~1,83m in the morning and ~1,81m in the evenings. This one has been taken in the morning as can be seen by the learned eye. In the Inventaire des mégalithes de la France Dr. Michel Gruet writes "[...] enorme monument [...]" and one cannot agree more. The clear size of the chamber is 10,65m by 5m. As one support in the SE is obviously missing the SE part is partly collapsed. Nevertheless this site is incredibly impressive.
C1 Capstone: 7,6m by 6m
PC Portal Capstone: 4,6m by 1,2m
EO1 and E02: Entrance Orthostats.
The interesting partly enhanced geology is to be found on E02.
