Beloire dolmen submitted by Rubis on 3rd Feb 2011. This dolmen was breaking up before 1900 but the stones were left on the site.
In the sixties or in the seventies an archaeologist decided to move it up at the same place.
It has another name: dolmen de Beauregard, given from a farm around.
This dolmen can be found between Meschers sur Gironde and Semussac. At the crossroad of the silo, take the white postsigns "Beloire", "Beauregard". The dolmen is on the left, right next to the road and not in the middle of the field.
It is ...

Log Text: Nice village in the borough of Solihull, near Balsall Common.
In some old documents we found the names: Beorcoles well or Beorcol’s spring and Berchewelle, the name could originate from the anglosaxon word: "berc" which in modern English is a "birch".
The English place names society suggested that the name Berkswell means the Well of Bercul. A Bercul is noted in a 748AD document drawn up by Mercian King Ethalbald which granted the church indemnity from any services or taxation.
It is said that the area was Christianized by travelling monks from the city of Lichfield. A local leader, Bercul, is said to have been baptised in the well in the 8th Century.

Bouyé dolmen submitted by thecaptain on 5th Jan 2006. To the southeast of Gramat, near the hamlet of Bouyé can be seen the remains of this double dolmen and its little mound.
I could not get into the field for a close look, and thick hedges and trees made making out what is there, and getting photographs difficult.

Log Text: Dolmen de Bouyé near Gramat is situated in a private property, pictures can only be taken from the road. It called my attention 4 stones in the garden just opposite the dolmen, as they were also in a private property and there was nobody round I could not find out whether they were prehistoric or just placed there for decoration.

Cournols allée couverte submitted by thecaptain on 6th Sep 2006. Said to be an allée couverte, its not much like any other allée couvertes I have seen!
It looks more to me like a sort of double dolmen, with two chambers beside one another. The entrance would have been from the east, and central to the two chambers.

Dolmen d'Ayrens
Date Added: 26th Oct 2013
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Auvergne:Cantal (15))
Visited: Yes on 26th Oct 2013. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 5
Log Text: The remains of the Dolmen d'Ayrens are visible from the road leading to Ayrens from St Paul de Landes, in the department of Cantal, 15, in the region of Auvergne.
The dolmen is found along the D53 approximately a kilometre away before the junction with the D59. It is also called the Dolmen du Ruisseau de la Vaurette, because of the brook which runs a few metres from the site, it is also called Le Colin because of a hamlet perched on the hill near the site, and it also has a third name: le dolmen du Champ de bataille. It is believed that a farmer used the capstone sometime last century; two parallel standing stones are all that is left.
