    The monuments were erected around 3,500 BC, on a peninsula at the confluence of the Eure and a stream that has now disappeared. The dolmens were built in sandstone blocks coming from 3 km. The sepulchral dolmen, known as “Dolmen Petit”, was covered with a cairn made of limestone blocks. A dozen people were buried in this dolmen. The other dolmen, known as the “Dolmen du Berceau”, was used for ceremonies. He never sheltered a body. This dolmen has remarkable engravings on two of its pillars. The dolmens have been transformed and closed, covered with a huge mound of earth and stones.

      A site that does not go unnoticed. Near the "Caesar camp", two archaeological sites for the price of one.
