Peyrefit Dolmen

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.

Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen

Visited: Would like to visit
Pèira Levada (La Glène) submitted by thecaptain on 22nd Mar 2006. High up on the windswept, sunbaked plateau north of Millau, this is one heck of a big dolmen which has sadly collapsed on one side.
The giant capstone must be 6 metres by 4 metres, sitting on two 4 metre long side slabs, the eastern of which has tipped inwards letting the capstone fall this side. Its backstone has broken, allowing this to happen.
