Log Text: We have a house nearby and even with the coordinates giving us an idea of where it was it took several visits over a couple of years to find! Don't try it during the summer or autumnas the bracken is too high and the undergrowth too thick. Best approach is from the field track to the south. Turn N off this track when you get to the tallest tree - it is obvious when you get there - and march straight in due noirth. The dolmen is all but buried with the capstone just above ground level but is recogniseable for what it is. Tip: Start looking for the alignment Bois Noir (adjacent to it) once you have located the sepulchre Bois Noir - it made the search easier for us as there are numerous stone outcrops that you can spend hours scratching your head about!.

Log Text: Total nightmare to find - it is actually buried under a bank with a large tree and is only accessible from the farmyard or the track that leads into the souteraine storage areas of La Pauriere farmhouse. The owners were friendly enough but a little confused as to why anyone would want to look at a pile of stones in a bank - and then the heavens opened which made for a very rapid inspection. We will have to go back in better weather. Managed a couple of photographs - it is certainly a large structure and worth going back for.

La Pierre Couverte de la Planche submitted by theCaptain on 14th Dec 2011. The dolmen is left in a little unploughed area which had recently been cleared of undergrowth and bushes, but it is also unfortunately used for field clearance stones.
