The Pierre Plate pass dolmen is one of the best preserved on the Causse Méjean plateau.

His chamber, covered by a large slab and open towards the east, is three meters long. According to local legends, the dolmen would have healing properties for people suffering from whooping cough.

A dolmen (from Cornish tolmen 'stone table') is usually a tomb built from large, unhewn or hewn blocks of stone (megaliths). It consists of three or more upright supporting stones (orthostatics) on which one or more cover plates rest.[1] Dolmens are traditionally considered the simplest form of megalithic tomb.[2] In Europe, most dolmens were originally covered with mounds of stone or earth.
