Dolmen Lo Morrel dos Fados

This passage tomb extends 24 meters in length, featuring a 12-meter corridor, a 6-meter antechamber, and a terminal burial chamber with stone portals.

The structure, built around 3500 BC by the Véraza culture, contains stones weighing up to thirty tons transported from locations over two kilometers away.

Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered a riveted dagger, now displayed at the Olonzac museum, indicating early metallurgy between 3400 and 2900 BC.

The archaeological site, accessible year-round without entrance fees, sits within an enclosed area of 1.53 hectares purchased by the municipality of Pépieux.

Local sandstone and limestone materials form three distinct sections connected by jointed end stones carved with precise portal openings for passage between chambers.
