Log Text: I finally secured access to the site today, thanks to the local farmer. The site is in a remote area not signposted and full of young bullocks.
The stone itself is on a steep hillside and appears to have been broken many years ago and I suspect a large amount is still buried beneath the ground.
I have tried to gain access for a few years, not for the faint hearted.

Mont-Dol submitted by TheCaptain on 23rd Oct 2010. Mont Dol is a large granite rock outcrop, dramatically jutting up through the flat coastal marshlands of the Baie de Mont St-Michel to the north of the ancient city of Dol-de-Bretagne, and in some ways is rather like Mont St-Michel itself, although nowadays completely enclosed within farmed lands.

Pierres dit Palais du Diable submitted by TheCaptain on 9th May 2005. Le Palais au Diable, or Pierres Jumelles, Mayenne.
Perhaps the whole thing is one giant burial mound, which it looks more like as seen here from the north.
It is all covered with trees with lots of birds singing, and a woodpecker pecking away with its loud ratatatatattatt.

Porz Guen Dolmens
Date Added: 7th Sep 2024
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Bretagne:Morbihan (56))
Visited: Yes on 7th May 2024. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 3
Porz Guen dolmens submitted by thecaptain on 14th Jun 2006. Remains of two dolmens on the clifftop to the north of the Porz Guen beach on the Cote Sauvage of the Quiberon Peninsula.
The more inland is the most complete, with one capstone surviving on the entry couloir. The chamber would probably have been roofed with large corbelled capstones around it, many of which survive fallen neaby.

Log Text: Long walk along the coastal path until we reached the Dolmen high up overlooking the sea, lovely site but now roped off to the public so could only get to within 10mtrs of the site.
