Touls dolmen

The restored simple dolmen ( French dolmen simple ) consists of two approximately 2.0 m long supporting stones and the over 3.0 m long, trapezoidal ceiling plate protruding on one side.
The dolmen has been classified as a monument historique since 1986 .
Nearby is the Dolmen du Bardon, also classified as Monument historique, or Pierre Chabrée à Coltines.
