Log Text: I went to the museum. The staff was extremely helpful and I met the people responsible for the conservation of the monument. They took me to the site. They have a very important job because the painting inside is, as far as I know, one of a kind. This is a truly remarkable world treasure. The paintings are in a very good state of preservation.

Log Text: Usually these fusion sites do not work for but this one was an exception. The location majesty of the Dolmen and the church in ruins synergies well as a site. Perhaps the presence of teh church wall which substitutes for the berm of the original mound helps the ambiance of the site.

Log Text: This group of dolmens is a bit of an adventure. It seems rarely visited but the surroundings are great. You will pass the first dolmens right beside a iron gate that was locked but allows pedestrian access when I was there in June 2018. Continue to the beautiful but fallen menhir and behind the menhir is the access to most of the dolmens. The Megalithic Portal app on my phone came in very handy since I had a mobil wifi.

Log Text: This was once a great dolmen. Sadly, the excavation was severely marred by removing the mound to reveal the stone core. It may have included the removal of the capstone??? Tell me this is not true. The site is now covered by a tin roof and entrance into the chamber is prohibited. The idea of protecting a 6 or 7 thousand year old stone monument with a tin roof is a sad comment on the hubris of the people that "conserved" the site. It would have been much better left alone in its original state.
