Tumulus de Quenouille

This tumulus is a burial mound. The small tower at its center is a later construction. Once very numerous, grouped in tumulair fields on peaks and ridges, Limousin mountain burial mounds can be identified by their sub-circular screes. Excavation of these mounds, which can be dated from the 8th century AD to the 1st century AD, frequently reveals an internal architecture protected by a stone covering; a central feature often houses a cinerary urn, and sometimes a burial site.
Accessible via the 'Autour du Bois de Crozat' hiking trail or the Sentier des Poètes.
