Pierre procureuse

Pierre procureuse is a Neolithic megalithic burial chamber in Normandy with a large capstone resting on three upright stones. The site belongs to a group of prehistoric stone monuments found throughout this region.

The burial monument was built during the Neolithic period and was officially protected as a historical site in 1930. Over thousands of years, it served as a resting place for people of this ancient era.

The monument reflects how Neolithic communities buried their dead and the role shared burial grounds played in their social lives. The way it was constructed reveals the knowledge and organizational skills of these early inhabitants of Normandy.

The site features informational panels and marked pathways that make exploration straightforward. The setting is easily accessible and offers a clear view of this prehistoric monument within its natural landscape.

One of the three supporting stones has shifted, causing the large capstone to lean at an unexpected angle. This tilting demonstrates how these ancient structures have withstood natural forces over countless millennia.
