Grand Dolmen du Ferrussac submitted by stewart on 3rd May 2004. Isn't this a beauty?
It has to be one of the most impressive dolmens I've seen - and I've been in a few in my time!
There is a long creep passageway (5m long by 1m high) leading to a central chamber (3m by 2,5).
The capstone is about 5m by 2,5m and 75cm thick.

Levade menhir submitted by theCaptain on 18th Sep 2012. The 3 m tall menhir has been re-erected, and is now concreted into the ground. It looks to have been smoothed and shaped, and does not look a natural shape rock.

Coste-Caude menhir submitted by TheCaptain on 13th Feb 2011. Just below the top of the hill below Coste-Caude dolmen 1, there is a track to the west, with what looks like, and is marked on the maps as a menhir. It is however a sculpture of a prehistoric man from about the year 1910, and his features can be made out when looking closely

Bruyère d'Usclas submitted by TheCaptain on 27th Oct 2007. The front does not have the oven door of nearby Coste-Rouge, but the entrance is to one side, which shows evidence of a carved and enlarged opening area.
The stones are fitted so well that almost no light gets in apart from through the entrance.

Dolmen des Lacs 2 submitted by richardfrance on 28th Jan 2008. We found 2 & 3 at Les Lacs but ran out of time to search for the others. (see Les Lacs 2 for more, and www.dolmen.wordpress.com for more photos, archaeologist sketches, etchings from 19th.c. and more text).
This site, like so many in lower Languedoc, received a burst of attention in the '70's & '80's from academics on their way up, only to be left languishing. Perhaps funds dried up, perhaps reputations were now made, perhaps other bigger sites had a more cachet.
But it looks to me like t...
