Pierre Levée du Grand Gât submitted by TheCaptain on 19th Sep 2010. Site in Poitou:Deux-Sèvres (79) France
The main chamber is about 3m by 2m and has a couple of sidestones and a capstone, though the backstone is missing. At the southeast end is a closing stone and an entrance passage of some sort, though this is mostly fallen, and I cannot be sure of the arrangement.

Monpalais dolmen 2 submitted by thecaptain on 5th Sep 2009. Just 50 metres west of Taizé No 1 is this poor little thing. It also looks to have been recently excavated and restored, but there can't have been much to work on. There is a collapsed capstone and two side stones, and also probably the backstone, but it is now all nearly flat to the ground.
