The Next French Mystery....

Many thanks to TheCaptain at The Megalithic Portal and to the Megalithes du Monde for assisting me in finding the last great french mystery dolmen - now properly identified as Dolmen de la Pierre-Folle:

As I continue to sort through my snaps of France I came across this one:

Lovely little thing which I named "bois de st laurent dolmen - perche".  This of course is locational information as there were no signs..

We were staying at a lovely gite in Haute-Normandie - Eure.  The owners were most eager to help us in our search for 'stones' and came up with a map and marked where at the bend in the road we would find this treasure.  Truly over the hills and through the woods....

My searching has lead me to a near match by the name of Pierre Courcoulée (posted by TheCaptain, again) but I am not so sure it is the same site....

Confirmation anyone?

Mystery Dolmen in France

Going through the many stones pics of the last trip to France, I came across this one - While I noted in my diary 'dolmen les creuse les cotets', I can find no such site through a Google search, map searches (both old fashioned paper and online), or any other rummaging through my notes.  Oh, how frustrating!

 

I was travelling non-stop from Vitrac through Limoges northeast towards Senlis (no small distance).  The force behind the forced marched was that pesky Air-France flight home that just would not wait...

Anyway, through the morning we stopped at several roadside megalithic notations on the map.  Started off with Menhir St Paul du Metayer.  The morning mist was fabulous....

The sheep thought so as well.. They also thought I was crazy taking pics of a stone - which was not even EDIBLE!!

The horses at Dolmen du Pouyol absolutely refused to stay out of any shots - and would let us get no closer.  I thought they were a perfect other-worldly pair so I heeded their message and we moved on...

to Dolmen du Bagnol...THIS I could find on a map once we returned! 

Oh, and this little treasure in someone's back garden...practically across the road from the 'real' thing.  Actually, I don't know if this is a folly or another 'real' thing....

And so back to my mystery dolmen. 

Any hints? ...Anyone?
