Tumulus de la Boixe B submitted by thecaptain on 4th Jul 2005. In this region to the north of Angoulême are many, many megalithic remains, most of which are almost totally unknown.
This is one of the known sites, the well restored and truly lovely Tumulus de la Boixe, well worth a visit.

Saint Fort Dolmen submitted by Nick- on 24th Sep 2005. Strange dolmen, here's me 1m93 (6'4) for scale. I have a feeling that the capstone has been 'replaced'. I might be completely wrong of course. Easy access, Dolmen is signposted in the village of St.Fort.

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.
