Dolmen of Oppagne, Neolithic dolmen in Wéris, Belgium.

The Dolmen of Oppagne features large stone blocks arranged in a chamber formation, extending ten meters in length and five meters in width.

Archaeological excavations in 1986 and 1996 revealed human remains, animal bones, flint tools, and pottery fragments dating back approximately 5000 years.

The megalithic structure represents the Seine-Oise-Marne culture's burial practices and contains a portal stone with a circular opening for ceremonial purposes.

The dolmen stands one kilometer northwest of Oppagne village and one and a half kilometers southwest of Wéris, with parking areas nearby.

A discovered eight-meter-long stone path outside the dolmen suggests the structure was not originally covered by an earthen mound.
