Mégalithes du causse de Blandas, Neolithic dolmens in Causse de Blandas, France
The megalithic site of Causse de Blandas contains over 80 stone monuments including 25 dolmens, 55 menhirs, and three confirmed stone circles in limestone and dolomite.
Félix Mazauric initiated the first studies of these megaliths in the early 20th century, followed by extensive research from E. Lombard-Dumas and Adrienne Durand-Tullou.
The dolmens of Causse de Blandas demonstrate the funeral practices of Neolithic communities, with passage graves and smaller tombs spread across the limestone plateau.
The site can be accessed from Le Vigan or Saint-Maurice-Navacelles, with roads leading to the towns of Montdardier and Rogues.
The largest menhirs in the area reach heights exceeding 4.50 meters, while the Arques dolmen features a chamber measuring 15 meters by 13 meters.
