La Barbière dolmen, Neolithic gallery grave in Crossac, France
The stone structure features a massive 25-ton granite table supported by three upright stones, with additional covering slabs scattered on the ground.
This megalithic monument dates back to the Neolithic period and represents ancient burial practices through its 12-meter-long gallery chamber design.
Local records indicate that during the 19th century, the structure provided shelter to a woman who modified the space between granite supports for basic living.
The dolmen stands at 15 meters elevation near the D4 departmental road, east of Crossac village in the La Ricortais area.
A granite cross, created from one of the original dolmen stones, stands near the structure, marking the transformation of prehistoric elements.
