Log Text: The cairn is in a field of cows surrounded by double barbed wire fences. It is only possible to get to the first fence and take pictures from there. At least half of the height of the cairn is hidden by gorse so it is only possible to see the stones forming the top of the cairn.

Log Text: The ambiance of this small ancient site does not seem to be spoiled by the fact it is right by the side of the road. There are many stones here as well as the main three manhirs. Not easy for a wheelchair visit other than a drive by.

Log Text: No one in the village had heard of a dolmen nearby and I can only assume that the coordinates aren't correct. Nothing visible nearby. Farmer let us look in his area and beyond his land is a disused railway which is very overgrown so could hide anything.

Log Text: Great place. Windy hill. Vast capstone. Maybe it was once supported on other of the surrounding stones or maybe this is the way it was constructed with the angled stone. Very impressive.

Dolmen de la Garenne (La Mothe) submitted by thecaptain on 27th Jul 2008. The dolmen is in a clearing in the woods, and still mostly within its mound. I cannot be totally sure what this is the remains of, whether it is one chamber with a long and angled passage, or more likely two chambers with entry passageways.
