Description

The Bois Neuf dolmen date back to the Middle Neolithic period, between 3,500 and 2,500 BC. During this period, the Limousin region was affected by the expansion of Chassean society. This civilization bore the first apparent traces of social hierarchization through the construction of fortifications and megalithic funerary monuments.
The table, measuring 2.9 x 2 metres, is supported by six pillars. This monument is the only "survivor" of a group of five megaliths. An important series of Neolithic artefacts has been found nearby: arrowheads, broken pottery, ornaments (bone beads and green rock)... The chamber is pear-shaped, with two internal parts and a narrow opening to the south.
