Dolmen de la Jagartière
Date Added: 24th Jul 2025
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Languedoc:Aude (11))
Visited: Yes on 1st Jul 2025. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 3
Dolmen de la Jagartière submitted by thecaptain on 20th Mar 2006. The slab sided chamber, 3 metres by 2 metres, is covered with a single large capstone, and has an entry looking over the Aude valley to the southeast at 160°. There is a small cairn surrounding the chamber, of which the excavations showed it to be of diameter only 8.5 metres, with an encircling circle of stones.

Log Text: Heavily restored, but not apparently enhanced in any way. The view from the direction open face of the dolman is wide, and superb. This is common for this type of monument in my experience.

Roque Traoucado submitted by thecaptain on 13th Mar 2006. Roque Traoucado, up on the southern slopes of the Montagne Noire in Minervois wine country.
The views from up here, over the plain of the Aude river are truly spectacular. On a clear day, the Mediterranean sea and the sacred mountain of Canigou in the Pyrénées are clearly visible.

Log Text: A little overgrown in the cut, but still clearly visible. There are a couple of little cairns that help you navigate through the brush, as there are several scrubby paths.
Tombeau de Roland

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen

Tombeau de Roland submitted by thecaptain on 12th Mar 2006. Just up the hillside a bit from Dolmen de La Jagartière can be found the Tombeau de Roland.
Once thought to be a megalithic tomb, the latest thoughts are that it is nothing more than a place from where a large rock has been quarried. But why up here ?

Log Text: Definitely looks like a cut in a big rock, but as already stated, why here? The location is slightly out. It should be at the top of the triangle made by the paths to the dolman.

Log Text: It is in the bank next to the minor road indicated on the map. It aligns with the road perfectly. It is strikingly triangular when viewed from the field on the other side from the road (where there is a vineyard). I posted an image from the field.
