Caixa de Rotllan, Neolithic dolmen in Arles-sur-Tech, France.
Three upright granite stones arranged in an H-shape support a substantial roofing stone, forming a rectangular chamber at 938 meters elevation.
The dolmen dates from the second half of the 3rd millennium BC and received recognition as a Monument Historique in 1889.
Local narratives connect the dolmen to Roland, suggesting his horse Veillantif carried his body from Roncevaux Pass for burial beneath these stones.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site through walking paths from Arles town, including a route that follows the Bonabosc river.
The dolmen served as a boundary marker between the communes of Arles and Montbolo throughout the medieval period.
