The menhir is located in the marsh of Aubigny-au-Bac, on a footpath leading to Brunémont. It is a block of Landenian sandstone 2.90 m high (including 1.48 m above ground) by 2.15 m wide and 0.70 m thick. It is said to have been sunk to about 2.40 m. Shaped like a horse's head, it is associated with a prehistoric megalith despite the absence of evidence.

Nice climb, be careful though, recently due to internal combustion, gases and smoke escape from time to time.

Menhir part of the local history to discover. Be careful, the place is very swampy and it is more easily accessible in dry weather 😉.

It is a magical place, sheltered in a small clearing, which is accessed by a footbridge. Don't make (too much) noise ...

Very nice layout around the pond, which is an ornithological reserve. The slag heap is on the other side. Different promontory which allows to have an unobstructed view of the region.

Le dolmen d’Hamel, une des rare allée couverte dans le Nord Connu aussi sous le nom de « Pierre-aux-savates » ou « Cuisine des Sorciers », le dolmen du Bois d’Hamel, dans la vallée de la Sensée, est un des rares exemples d’allée couverte encore visible dans notre région. On le date du néolithique final, environ 2800 -2000 av. J.C. M. Bottin, secrétaire de la société des Sciences de Lille, donna une description détaillée de l'édifice après une visite sur place en 1805. Il comporte alors quatre dalles supports en place mais deux furent renversées par des ouvriers vers 1830. Il est classé au titre des monuments historiques le 18 avril 1914. L'édifice comporte encore deux orthostates recouverts d'une table de couverture. Cette dernière mesure 3,40 m de longueur sur 2,45 m de large et 0,35 m d'épaisseur. Selon la description de Bottin, il s'agirait d'une allée couverte d'environ 5 m de long sur 1 m à 1,30 m de large, ouvrant vers le sud. Toutes les dalles sont en grès très dur et très fin, de couleur rose clair. La surface de la table de couverture comporte une douzaine de cavités cylindriques, d'une largeur et d'une profondeur de 7 à 8 cm, dont huit sont prolongées par des rigoles de 10 à 12 cm de longueur qui sont peut-être d'origine naturelle mais dont la régularité et le poli indiquent une intervention humaine. Selon L. Desailly leur disposition correspondrait à une représentation de la constellation de la Grande Ourse. Selon la tradition locale, les pierres n'ont pas été taillées de mains d'homme et elles servaient de cuisine à des sorciers ou de refuge à des êtres malfaisants, appelés Caramaras, et à des bohémiens nomades. L'origine du nom de Pierre Chavatte viendrait soit de chavatte ou chawatte, nom en patois local de la chouette, ou d'une déformation du mois savate, en raison des cavités et sillons visibles sur la table assimilées à des empreintes de talon. Le nom de Cuisine des Sorciers viendrait de ces mêmes cavités cylindriques qui peuvent faire penser à de petits pots

The menhir of Oisy-le-Verger is like a "big pebble", as it is called here, planted in the middle of the marshy terrain of the Sensée valley. This particular location, on the old bed of the Scheldt, makes it difficult to access, especially during periods of rain. But, even from afar, at the end of the alley surrounded by a reed bed, the magnificent menhir classified since 1981 as an historic monument, remains particularly impressive.The emerged part is nearly 3 meters high, over a meter high. wide, for an invisible part which, for some, could be more than 8 meters deep. Its origin dates back to the Neolithic period, between - 5000 and 2500 BC. The marshy character of the land is much later than the megalith itself, which explains its presence in such an unfavorable place. But the surrounding waters have greatly contributed to the mystery that surrounds it. The legend of a pact with the devil Like many of its ilk, the legendary origin of the Oisy-le-Verger menhir is intimately linked to the devil. A tireless builder, but poor calculator, who, once again, will be caught off guard by the too early crowing of a rooster. This time, he offered his services to nuns to build their convent overnight. As a reward, they owed him their souls if the latter had ended before dawn. Satan set to work, and carried huge stones to the building all night long. Alas, for him, before the fateful hour, the nuns woke up the rooster, which began to crow. Surprised, the devil let go of the huge stone he was still holding ... She came to hide where we see her today.

Small heap located near the College of Roost-Warendin. It is less known than its neighbor of the Paturelles (bigger and more fun), but it deserves a trip if you are in the area. You will find lots of little singles forming a real labyrinth in the middle of birch trees (with passages sometimes very narrow). Don't hesitate to get lost ... without forgetting a very steep little climb for the more athletic!
