Cournols allée couverte

Site Type: Passage Grave

Visited: Yes on 12th Jul 1999. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
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.

Menhir de la Croix-Grosse submitted by thecaptain on 31st Oct 2008. This really is a lovely monument, the basalt column is perfectly upright, and always has been, its never been restored.
Apparently the column must have been brought here from several kilometres away, so its obviously at a once very special place.
