Handwritten label for the site reads: 'Fouille du dolmen de Treneday, en Guérande (Loire-Inférieure).
Derrière le château de Treneday, dans un champ dit du Four, est un bloc mégalithique mesurant 1m80 de longueur sur autant environ de largeur, et d’une épaisseur variant entre 0m65, 0m55 et 0m40, qui jadis recouvrait un dolmen, dont les supports ont disparu. Ce dolmen semble appartenir au début de l’époque mégalithique. Sous l’emplacement, et autour, la fouille a donné un certains nombres d’objets, restes incontestables du mobilier funéraire du mégalithe.
Les silex de couleur cire jaune, sont une précieuse indication pour la repartition des silex du Grand-Pressigny en Bretagne-Armorique où on les rencontre rarement. (Bulletin Société Archéologique de Nantes et de la Loire-Inférieure, année 1920).'

Translation: 'Excavation of the Treneday dolmen, in Guérande (Loire-Inférieure).
Behind the Treneday castle, in a field called Four, is a megalithic block measuring 1m80 in length by approximately the same width, and with a thickness varying between 0m65, 0m55 and 0m40, which once covered a dolmen, whose supports have disappeared. This dolmen seems to belong to the beginning of the megalithic era. Under and around the site, the excavation yielded a certain number of objects, indisputable remains of the funerary material of the megalith.
The yellow coloured flints are a valuable indication of the distribution of flints from Grand-Pressigny in Brittany-Armorique where they are rarely encountered. (Bulletin Archaeological Society of Nantes and Loire-Inférieure, year 1920).'
