Peyrefit Dolmen
Date Added: 15th Nov 2014
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Midi:Lot (46))
Visited: Yes on 15th Nov 2014. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 4
Peyrefit dolmen submitted by ocdolmen on 1st Jul 2007. Peyrefit's dolmen is, for me, one of the most beautiful dolmens of the department of the Lot.
Most impressive is the very important thickness of the table in limestone, 1 metre which is in fact the thickest in the region of Quercy.
A big cup is engraved on the top of the capstone.
In the same area, we can also see the very beautiful dolmen of Artillou.
