Dolmen de Cantagrel
Puylagarde. Tarn et Garonne
These stones are in disarray. The photo was taken with the tripod at the edge of a fragile country lane - rolling up, swinging to the left, a turn and some bumps. On the other side was a field with two horses - cream and tall.. Off centre in their field can be seen a low mound that appears to be a tumulus.. There are depressions in its summit and these may be the remnants of orthostate foundation trenches, with the missing stones potentially being the monoliths pictured above. Judging from the size of the trees, if the dolmen was moved (and there are local stories of looking for treasure) then it was moved many decades ago. A project to analyse the stones, verify the scenario and rebuild the dolmen would make sense.
