The back side is unfortunately missing as it was destroyed when Berber tribes resisted the Arab invasion in the 7th Century.
The theatre is still used for spectacles today.

Dolmen des Lacs 2

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.

Visited: Would like to visit
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.

Coste-Rouge Dolmen submitted by thecaptain on 7th Oct 2005. Coste-Rouge Dolmen on a sunny, but cold and windy afternoon in September.
Unfortunately, to see this dolmen nowadays, the full guided tour of the abbey has to be taken - there are no longer any open visits round the grounds because it has been made into an animal park.
But its worth it.

Date Added: 25th Jun 2012
Site Type: Passage Grave
Country: Netherlands (Drenthe)
Visited: Would like to visit
D22 Bronneger submitted by Martin_L on 12th May 2009. 5 orthostats and 2 large capstones are left of this passage grave. Possibly in situ. But the chamber is deeply hidden in the ground. Only the 2 capstones and one orthostat are visible nowadays. There is an enormous tree growing beside the tomb. All in all a very atmospheric site. (May 2009)
Remark: the lens hood was removed to get some lens flares.

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Poitou:Vienne (86))
Visited: Would like to visit
Dolmen dit la Pierre-de-Verre submitted by theCaptain on 14th Aug 2012. What there is looks a bit like an allée couverte 6 metres long by 2 metres wide, but probably was an Angevine dolmen.
It has been altered about with quite a bit, including being dug into on the west side to be made into a goat house.
