A small information board provides information about these dolmens

The Prédaire dolmen located south-east of Pornic, towards La Bernerie via the coastal path, rests on rocky ground at a place called "le Prédaire". This heavily damaged megalithic site belongs to the transept dolmens referenced on either side of the Loire estuary. Constitution of the Prédaire dolmen This monument, also spelled dolmen du Pré d'Air, is made up of scattered sandstone blocks and slabs in place quite clearly delimiting its different parts. Towards the West, the main terminal chamber was partly covered by an imposing block which, for security reasons, was deposited nearby in 2003. We can still see on the ground the location of the corridor and the two other bedrooms. Baron Olivier de Wismes, a scholar from Nantes, carried out archaeological excavations on the site in 1878. In the drawings he made on this occasion, the baron accurately represents this “basin stone” characteristic of this site which earned him also the name “Dolmen of the Dug Stone”. The funerary furniture discovered by him is kept at the Dobrée museum in Nantes. It is made up of: an oval pendant in fibrolith (small jewel), a round pendant (small jewel), two daggers (knives) in flint from Grand Pressigny (large production center in the Final Neolithic), a small ax and an ax fragment, pottery fragments, and flint flakes. This dolmen is listed in the supplementary inventory of Historic Monuments by decree of March 15, 1983. https://www.pornic.com/le-dolmen-du-predaire.html
