The Mouleyre Dolmen (also called Dolmen du Bois-du-Luc ) is located near the D127 road, east of Blasimon and west of Mauriac in the Gironde department in France .

The dolmen was described in 1923 by Father Jean-Joseph Labrie (1867–1927). In France, dolmen is the generic term for Neolithic megalithic structures of all kinds (see: French nomenclature ).

The severely disturbed limestone dolmen lies in the forest. It cannot be classified typologically. It is oriented to the northeast-southwest. The chamber is 4.4 m long and 0.95 to 1.5 m wide. It consists of seven bearing stones, four on the left and three on the right and two floor slabs.

Nearby are the menhirs of Les Grangeottes and Notre-Dame-de-Bonne-Nouvelle .
