Peyre-Brune, Neolithic dolmen at Saint-Aquilin, France
The rectangular burial chamber measures 2.75 meters in length and 2 meters in width, featuring seven stone uprights made of orange-brown sandstone.
Archaeological excavations in 1874 revealed numerous artifacts including earrings, pottery fragments, biface tools, axes, knives, and arrowheads at this Neolithic site.
The dolmen bears a name derived from Occitan 'peyre' for stone and French 'brune' for brown, reflecting the local linguistic heritage of Dordogne.
The megalithic structure stands 1.5 kilometers west of Seyssac hamlet, accessible through a forest path that continues toward Segonzac.
Local tradition tells of a chieftain's wife who ordered the dolmen's construction at her husband's death site and cast a spell against grave disturbance.
