Image of Lot (46) (Departement) by Chance

Pierre Martine, located near Livernon.
The cap-stone measures 22 feet by 11 feet, and is 16 inches in thickness, and was so balanced on its two points of support that a slight pressure of the hand was sufficient to set it oscillating with a motion which it retained for some time. Alas this broke under it’s own weight and had to be concreted. This curiosity, which has puzzled many people, eventually giving rise to a legend depicting Saint Martin, the evangelist Gaul.

A great site predominantly about the Dolmens of the Lot department and some of Tarn & Garonne department.
There is an article from the french Archéologia about the Lot dolmens with an english translation at the bottom. Plus several pages of pictures the author has visited and also cupules (cups) and standing stones in the region.
