Cazarils tombe ovale 2
Trip No.40 Entry No.28 Date Added: 30th Mar 2020
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: France (Languedoc:Hérault (34))
Visited: Yes on 26th Jun 2000. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Cazarils tombe ovale 2 submitted by TheCaptain on 4th Nov 2007. Cazarils tombe ovale 2 is much bigger than the first, but does not have the wonderful carved headstone.
It's cairn of stones is much bigger also, but unfortunately was getting very overgrown with bushes, making photos of the whole thing very difficult.

Pierre Levée (Collias) submitted by ocdolmen on 7th Aug 2006. "La Pierre Plantée" is now standing up in a private property in the village of Collias.
The menhir was broken in two parts and condemned to be totally destroyed by excavators.
A man in the village of Collias has chosen to bring it to his home and to repair it. This stone is now in its garden. Bravo !!!

Cournols allée couverte submitted by thecaptain on 6th Sep 2006. Said to be an allée couverte, its not much like any other allée couvertes I have seen!
It looks more to me like a sort of double dolmen, with two chambers beside one another. The entrance would have been from the east, and central to the two chambers.
