Allée couverte des Grèves de Frécul, Neolithic dolmen in Barbuise, France.

The megalithic structure comprises seven orthostats, three capstones, and four smaller entrance slabs forming a burial chamber measuring 4.40 meters long.

The archaeological site was excavated in 1864, revealing flint tools, a black rock adze, and animal bones within the ancient burial monument.

The megalithic tomb represents a significant example of Neolithic funeral architecture in the Aube department of northeastern France.

The monument has been relocated from its original position to the courtyard of the Saint-Loup Museum in Troyes for preservation purposes.

The burial chamber connects to the largest dolmen of Frecul, with both structures originally positioned 100 meters apart in a north-south orientation.
