Dolmen du Trou à Morts, Neolithic burial site in Parmain, France.

The underground chamber extends 4.3 meters in length, with walls lined with dry stones and a vestibule marked by vertical stone slabs.

Discovered around 1850 by Mr. Carnelle, the structure contained human bones, polished axes, and flint blades from the Neolithic period.

The tomb represents a combination of architectural styles, featuring both underground chambers and covered passageways typical of ancient burial structures.

The burial chamber sits near the summit of a western hillside between Val de Nesles and Ru de Jouy, with the entrance facing west.

The interior height varies from 1 meter at the entrance to 1.35 meters on the south side, with carved benches along the north and east walls.
