Interesting, though it is hard to spot a dolmen which has "not been open for 4000 years" in this photograph.

"Walls in the mound allow one to imagine that dolmens are hiding below".

When reading the information about the findings the expectations rise. Though at least the photos available in the Internet do not really suggest the existance of hidden dolmens.
