Grand Dolmen du Ferrussac
Date Added: 9th Nov 2014
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Languedoc:Hérault (34))
Visited: Yes on 9th Nov 2014. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 5
Grand Dolmen du Ferrussac submitted by stewart on 3rd May 2004. Isn't this a beauty?
It has to be one of the most impressive dolmens I've seen - and I've been in a few in my time!
There is a long creep passageway (5m long by 1m high) leading to a central chamber (3m by 2,5).
The capstone is about 5m by 2,5m and 75cm thick.

Coste-Rouge Dolmen

Visited: Yes
Coste-Rouge Dolmen submitted by thecaptain on 7th Oct 2005. Coste-Rouge Dolmen on a sunny, but cold and windy afternoon in September.
Unfortunately, to see this dolmen nowadays, the full guided tour of the abbey has to be taken - there are no longer any open visits round the grounds because it has been made into an animal park.
But its worth it.

Dolmen de Pech-Lapeyre
Date Added: 1st Nov 2014
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: France (Midi:Lot (46))
Visited: Would like to visit
Dolmen de Pech-Lapeyre submitted by greywether on 4th Jul 2005. This is a photo of a dolmen known in the Lot Inventory as Lac d'Auris. It was signposted from the centre of Limogne-en-Quercy but, I think, simply as "Dolmen". Anyway, the notable thing about Lac d'Auris is the thickness of the capstone - almost 1m and weighing 17 tons. Apparently there is a quarry 300m away with a hole the size of the capstone.

Dolmen de Axeitos submitted by ernar on 30th Sep 2004. The Dolmen de Axeitos is one of the most beautiful portal tombs in Galicia. In this case, the reforested eucaliptus shiled the site from the populated surroundings. Note to the editor: This picture should be linked with the 'Axeitos' Dolmen in Spain. Which in turn should be allocated to Galicia. Warm Regards Jorge aka Ernar

Log Text: Sadly this is the result of overzealous archeologists, historians and public officials. This magnificent dolmen has now been "preserved" -- truly entombed -- and has lost its function as a sacred site. The idea that a structure at least 5000 years old needs a huge wooden roof (that may last 100 years) to protect it is ridiculous. The objects found could be conserved in a museum and the site left in the state that has preserved it for the last 5000 years.
