from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BW

La Table des Fées ( German  "Feentisch" , also called La Table aux Fées or Dolmen de la Cardotière) is a small disturbed dolmen southeast of the hamlet of Chênedouit near Flers in the south of the Orne department in Normandy in France .

The remains of the indeterminable megalithic complex lie in a field wall and consist of a capstone, which is located on a steep slope above a small stream in a somewhat strange position. The mushroom-shaped capstone measures around 2.0 meters, is flat at the bottom and otherwise rounded on all sides and lies more than a meter from the ground on a pair of bearing stones. Other stones whose original position cannot be determined are on the ground.

A dolmen of the same name is located in Fresnicourt-le-Dolmen .
