The dolmen of Dignas is located north of Sainte-Enimie in the Gorges du Tarn Causses commune in the Lozère department in France . In France, dolmen is the generic term for megalithic structures of all kinds (see: French nomenclature ).

The rectangular chamber has a monolith as a pavement . A short antechamber to the east gave access to the chamber, which is buried in the hill. During excavations in the late 19th century, the chamber was almost completely emptied. A recent investigation revealed finds from the Iron Age in the hill .

Nearby are the Peyrelevade dolmen and the Menhir du Bac .
