Dolmen de la Pierre Tourneresse

The dolmen was built on terraced land near the Vey valley, a small tributary of the Mue river. The almost circular tumulus, 24 m in diameter, is bounded by a facing wall of limestone slabs probably quarried in the immediate vicinity of the site. It was used as a quarry in Gallo-Roman times, and the eastern and western parts of the original mound are now missing. The internal structure of the cairn is criss-crossed by rays of large slabs delimiting caissons.

The tumulus contains two rectangular burial chambers. Beneath the funerary monument, archaeological excavations revealed traces of a pre-existing dwelling consisting of a house 15 m long by 7 m wide, itself surrounded by several domestic structures. The whole complex has been dated to 4400 BC. Legend has it that the Pierre Tourneresse has the power to turn on itself, like many other megaliths in the region with similar names.
