Discovered in 1881 .
A deposit of flint arrowheads was found in a small pit on the left hand side of the corridor . Other finds were remnants of a bronze awl and some pottery .
Fwiw declination of chamber is -29.8 , therefore close to major standstill .
Crap pic , but it does show the horizon before the trees blotted it out . Worth comparing with Thelonius’ pic to see the changes 10 yrs approx can make .
This a one of the rare cases of a possible henge entrance orientation towards the winter solstice sun rise .

Discovered in 1947 . Only finds were small amount of ceramics .

, horizon very similar , orientation of chambers differ by 60 degrees .
Discovered in the early 1970’s. A Flint Knife and small amount of ceramics were found when excavated . Orientation of chamber and passage is 170 degrees and therefore not facing any solar or lunar set or rise .
Discovered in 1986 by Josep Tarrus and Miquel Cura . Finds were 170 pottery fragments ,some of which were decorated , a flint blade and fragment of granite millstone . At 278 degrees this is the most westerly oriented dolmen in the region
The site was cleared of gorse and shrubbery in 1986 and excavated and restored in 2005 -6 . Worth having a look at it on Google Earth to get a better idea of the aerial view . Even better , use the timeline to see what it looked like in 2004 .
Unlike all the dolmens in area ,most of which are oriented in the other direction i.e. easterly , the axis of the monument and entrance is close enough to be considered as oriented on the mid winter solstice sunset . It doesn’t “work” in the other direction i.e. to the mid summer solstice due to the height of the hills impacting on the resulting declination . The enclosures around the main monument had later Iron Age burials with the earlier monument providing Chalcolithic Bell Beaker ceramics from beneath the menhirs .

Discovered in the 1920’s , finds were , flint arrowheads ,small amounts of pottery and a quartz necklace .

A Catalan gallery dolmen with a small blocking /retaining stone more typical of the architecture to the north in herault etc.
The corridor and chamber differ in orientation by 20 degrees .

One of the few dolmens that could be said to be possibly aligned to a solstice ,in this case the winter solstice sunrise .

Catalan gallery dolmen .
Yet again he orientation of the chamber faces a part of the horizon where the neither the sun nor moon will be seen to rise or set .
