Le fameux dolmen de Tiergues, Aveyron, France.
Ce dolmen est un exemple typique: son tumulus a complètement disparu (érosion, pillage...) et ne reste que la charpente du tombeau lui-même.

Ballylumford Dolmen - The dolmen also known locally as the "Druids Altar" on the Ballylumford road a short distance from the Power Station. A wall plaque at the site describes it as a single chambered grave erected about 2000-1600 BC Local finds indicate occupation of neighbourhood during Bronze Age but no proof of association with Druids.
