Located at an altitude of 140 meters, not far from the edge of the limestone plateau, many "chirons" were still visible at the beginning of the 20th century. Two very damaged dolmens remain today, within groves, in the middle of fields. They are very similar to those of Usson-du-Poitou, nearby. One of the two dolmens was apparently a dolmen with a corridor and a quadrangular chamber of the Angoumoisin type. The tumulus that protected these prehistoric burials has long since disappeared and the archaeological material has been destroyed, largely due to clandestine excavations. However, some polished axes, a necklace of limestone beads and human remains discovered in situ testify to the funerary and symbolic use of this type of construction.
