Péré tumulus, Neolithic burial mound in Prissé-la-Charrière, France.
This elongated trapezoidal tumulus extends over 115 meters in length, with a width of 30 meters and reaches a maximum height of 4 meters.
The construction of this burial structure occurred around 4000 BCE, featuring three distinct building phases, starting with a small coffin-like funerary structure.
The tumulus contains a megalithic chamber accessed through a northern corridor, revealing ancient burial practices of Neolithic communities in western France.
The limestone terrain surrounding the archaeological site has preserved human bones and ceramic artifacts, making it valuable for research purposes.
The structure incorporates a dry stone wall perimeter surrounding a mass of yellow earth, leading to a final length of 23 meters in its second phase.
