La Joselière dolmen, Neolithic burial site in Pornic, France.
The dolmen features a quadrangular mound measuring 11 meters on each side, constructed with flat stones arranged between two straight dry-stone walls.
Built around 3500 BCE during the Middle Neolithic period, this megalithic tomb contains four lateral chambers connected by a central corridor.
Excavations at La Joselière revealed multiple artifacts including variscite beads, flint tools, and pottery fragments, indicating sophisticated burial practices.
Located 250 meters east of La Joselière beach, the dolmen can be accessed via the coastal path following the fishing route circuit.
The structure contains an engraved stone with cupules at its northeast corner entrance, marking the initial construction phase of the cairn.
