Log Text: Lesconil allée couverte is easy to find near the village of Lesconil, as it is signposted from the main D.7 road, and with its own little parking area. This is one monument round here that they do want you to visit, unlike most which seem sadly neglected. This is an excellent place, and no doubt the best preserved of the eight known Arc Bouttée style allée couvertes, where the two rows of side stones lean together, rather than having a row of capstones on top.
The chamber is about 14 metres in length, slightly curved, and facing south of southeast at a bearing of 155°, similar to its neighbour at Kerbalannec. The large side slabs range in size up to about 3 metres in height, the largest being in the middle, the smallest at the southeastern, open, end. The back end of the passage has a small seperate compartment between the rear stones, and a blocking stone is present. The allée couverte even has most of it's outer surrounding of peristalith stones, although several of these have become scattered.
It's all nicely sheltered in a little wood, which is keeping the burning sun off of me, but it doesn't help for getting good pictures, with very contrasting light and shade. For such a big monument, there is surprisingly little room inside, although tall in places, the style of construction cuts the space right down. Perhaps this is one for the cheapskates !

Levade menhir submitted by theCaptain on 18th Sep 2012. Three kilometres down the road from the Grand Dolmen du Ferrussac, is this 3 metre tall menhir in the field to the north of the road.

Log Text: Three kilometres further down the road from the Grand Dolmen du Ferrussac, where it curves around to the right, is this 3 metre tall manhir in the field to the left of the road. It has been re-erected, and is now concreted into the ground. It looks to have been smoothed and shaped, and does not look a natural shape rock. A nice one.
Ligné tumulus

Ligné tumulus submitted by thecaptain on 5th Dec 2005. A great big round tumulus within a wooded area in the middle of a field, near the village of Ligné.
The mound is approximately round about 30 metres in diameter and 4 metres high.

Log Text: Yet another great big round tumulus within a wooded area in the middle of a field. The mound is approximately round about 30 metres in diameter and 5 metres high inside the middle of which is a dug out chamber which is all falling in and not in a very good state. There is an obvious entrance passage as well which has all fallen in or been dug out. There are still several side slabs in place in both the chamber and the entrance passage and indeed there seems to be a couple of capstones still in position on the entrance couloir particularly where it meets the chamber.
This monument is in need of some TLC and could perhaps be a real cracker. It’s hard to judge these burial mounds for condition. Is it all a bit of a wreck with nothing much to see therefore getting a low score or is it still nearly all in place thus getting a very high score ? After all a chamber still within its cairn is surely better than a few stones of a ruined chamber alone ?

Liniez Tumulus elliptique
Trip No.205 Entry No.265 Date Added: 13th Dec 2020
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: France (Centre:Indre (36))
Visited: Saw from a distance on 27th Sep 2005
Log Text: Just outside the village of Liniez, along the D.926 road towards Vatan, and to the left of the road about a kilometre beyond the dolmen is the remains of a large tumulus. I found it difficult to stop here, and there was lots of fenced off land and woodland, so I didn't get to see this directly.

Liscuis 1 allée couverte submitted by greywether on 26th Jun 2005. Well-preserved allee couverte with surviving stones marking the edge of the mound and an end cell. Photo from E showing end cell. June 1994.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: There are three allée couvertes here on the hilltop on the ridge overlooking the river Dourla, and beside the busy GR37 footpath. They are signposted from all around, and are several hundred metres walk uphill and along the ridge from a little car park. They are all suffering badly from neglect and vandalism, which is a great shame as I was reading a book from 25 years ago which says that they have only recently been discovered and are in a wonderful condition and almost complete. I guess it doesn't help that the rock is a very splitty dark grey slate type rock, which now it is exposed takes little to break it. While I was up there, many people walked past, many kicking the stones as they went, with children (and adults) jumping up and down on them.
Right beside the busy (on a June Sunday afternoon) GR37 footpath, this allée couverte is suffering badly from neglect and vandalism. The chamber is 11 metres in length, and oriented to the east at 070°. Just two capstones are in place on the chamber which varies from 1 metre wide at the ends, to 2 metres wide at the middle. Part of the surrounding mound survives. There is a terminal cell at the western end, and a doorstone at the eastern end.

A bit further along the ridge than the other two, and off the main path, this one seems to have suffered a bit less from the vandalism. It faces north at 010° and is about 14 metres long, up to 2.5 metres wide, and 2 metres high, with the southern 3 metres being a seperate cell, both ends narrow down to only a metre wide. It has a paved floor, but there is only one capstone remaining in place. It is still mostly within its mound.

This seems to be a V shaped dolmen rather than a pure allée couverte with its chamber widening from less than a metre wide to greater than two metres wide for the main part. Approximately 12 metres long, it has three capstones in place, and faces approximately west at 210°.
It is suffering very badly, not only from graffitti, but also official damage in the form of footpath sign paintings and markings. There is a separate cell at the back, with an entry doorstone, at an angle, making a triangular entrance.

The remains as seen over the hedge from the lane. In a couple of places can be seen large stone slabs sticking out of the ground, which look to be the remains of two separate chambers. The horse is standing in the region of the southern chamber.
