Dolmen du Pech (Cazals)
Trip No.21 Entry No.6 Date Added: 7th Nov 2018
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Midi:Tarn-et-Garonne (82))
Visited: Yes on 28th Aug 2018. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 5
Dolmen du Pech (Cazals) submitted by thecaptain on 17th Jan 2006. Subject of an excavation in 1989, and reconstruction in 1992, this box tomb is now fenced in, presumably for protection, but it looks terribly ugly because of that.
The odd thing about this dolmen is the rectangular stone mound it is contained within, which has been subject to a perhaps over-enthusiastic reconstruction.

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen

Visited: Yes on 5th Sep 2018. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Dolmen de Saillac submitted by thecaptain on 23rd Jan 2006. This is a bizarrely Christianised dolmen which can be found in the forests to the south of the village of Caylus in Tarn-et-Garonne.
The dolmen is still partially contained within its circular mound, and the remains of two sidestones and a backstone can be seen, with the small capstone balanced on these and a few other bits of stone to make it level.

Visited: Yes on 22nd Jun 2009. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Menhir des Demoiselles (Colombiers-sur-Seulles) submitted by thecaptain on 28th Apr 2005. Just over 2 metres in height, this menhir is set in its own little grassy area beside the road junction just uphill to the east of the village. It is a square pillar with several holes and indentations, and has been broken in the past at both top and bottom (probably during the war) and is now remounted on a concrete post. While I was here it was sunny between the clouds, there was a bike race going on past the stone, and an old warplane flying above, which all added to a nice French rural scen...

Menhir de la Demoiselle de Bracqueville submitted by thecaptain on 11th Oct 2006. la Demoiselle de Bracqueville, near Caen in Calvados. Its about 1.4 metres tall, and leans towards the north.
The farmer has left very little room around it, and it has some very recent scrapes and damage done to it, no doubt from farm machinery.

The excavated remains of this large round barrow with 12 internal burial chambers is fenced off within a field of rapeseed. What was once a guardian with a key to the site in the nearby house was today a lady who told me that “Il est fermée monsieur”.
