Pear-shaped plan, originally limited by 5 pillars and covered by a single slab. Dated between 3788 and 3389 BC. Archeological objects from the Late Neolithic, Gallo-Roman and Medieval periods were found in its chamber. Listed as a historical monument since 1945. According to legend, 4 young girls were each carrying a huge stone in their apron when one of them, tired, asked her companions to ask God for help. They refused, and let their heavy burden fall. This legend would explain why three of the pillars were oblique, while the 4th, with God's help, stood perfectly vertical. But the story says nothing about the 5th, whose existence was proven during the excavation.
