This covered arched path retains part of its mound, supporting stones and its subdivision into a room and extreme cell. It was erected in the final Neolithic around 3500-2000 BC. It is 12 m long. This type of covered walkway is not very common.

The megalithic tomb of Lesconil belongs to the type of covered "arched" streets. It is dated to the final Neolithic between 3,500 and 2,000 years BC. Dated when the covered streets follow the passage graves from the beginning of the Neolithic. The covered passages are characterized by a long burial chamber, which is preceded and separated from a short vestibule. Originally, all megalithic burials were covered with a pile of stones and earth, which made these monuments look like artificial caves. Around the covered alley of Lesconil we can see the sloping stones that held the pile of stones. The excavations of this burial have brought to light objects from the Neolithic, but also from the Bronze Age and Gallo-Roman times, which testifies to a re-use of the monument in more recent periods. This toponym is called Ty-ar-c'horriquet (the house of corrections) and it reveals the haughty beliefs these strange monuments evoked up until the 19th century.
