Gallardet Dolmen, Ancient burial site in Le Pouget, France.
The dolmen features a 12-meter-long chamber covered by three large stone slabs, with walls made of carefully stacked flat stones.
Built between 3500 and 2800 BCE during the Neolithic period, this megalithic structure served as a collective burial ground for prehistoric communities.
The monument demonstrates the engineering capabilities of Neolithic builders through its massive stone construction and precise architectural elements.
Located on a hilltop overlooking the Hérault Valley, visitors can access the chamber through a distinctive oven-shaped entrance measuring 2 meters high.
The burial chamber incorporates an innovative stacking technique where flat stones are arranged like plates, supporting the massive capstones above.
