Bagnol dolmen
The Bagnol dolmen is slightly pear-shaped. The dolmen is located east of Fromental near the hamlet of Grand Bagnol north of the D 1, in the east of the Haute-Vienne department in France . In France, dolmen is the generic term for megalithic structures of all kinds (see: French nomenclature ).
The simple dolmen ( French dolmen simple ) consists of four (two per side) preserved supporting stones and the oval cap stone protruding on all sides. The end stone or a corresponding dry masonry closure is missing, as is the access structure. The facility has an equivalent in the dolmen of Quatre Routes in Saint-Jean-de-Laur in the Lot department .
The white menhir of the Fichades , classified as a monument historique like the dolmen of Bagnol , stands about 400 m southwest, at the end of a cul-de-sac.
