Dolmen de la Crête submitted by TheCaptain on 9th May 2005. Dolmen de la Crête, Mayenne.
On my third attempt to find this allée couverte I didn’t give up, although the last signpost I saw vaguely pointed into the middle of the forest, and any of three tracks could have been the right one !
After almost an hour of searching I found it. It’s becoming well overgrown despite fairly recent excavations.

La Hutte-aux-Gabelous submitted by thecaptain on 27th Apr 2005. La Hutte aux Gabelous, Saint Mars-sur-la-Futaie, Mayenne A cracking little find this, its been 2/3rds restored and the other end left as it was found. I think a Gabelou is some sort of soldier employed to crack down on smugglers, but cannot be sure yet.
