Dolmen du Pech (Cazals)
Trip No.21 Entry No.6 Date Added: 7th Nov 2018
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Midi:Tarn-et-Garonne (82))
Visited: Yes on 28th Aug 2018. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 5
Dolmen du Pech (Cazals) submitted by thecaptain on 17th Jan 2006. Subject of an excavation in 1989, and reconstruction in 1992, this box tomb is now fenced in, presumably for protection, but it looks terribly ugly because of that.
The odd thing about this dolmen is the rectangular stone mound it is contained within, which has been subject to a perhaps over-enthusiastic reconstruction.

I wasn't quite sure what to make of these. There are three massive stones (probably up to 7 metres high) within about 20 metres of each other looking for all the world like they have been stood upright surrounded by lots and lots of other stones.
