Pierre-levée de Chiroux, Neolithic dolmen in Plaisance, France
The Pierre-levée de Chiroux features a massive stone table measuring 6 meters in length and 3.2 meters in width, supported by five stone walls.
This megalithic structure, built during the Neolithic period, represents a significant example of ancient burial practices in the Vienne department of western France.
The monument received official recognition as a classified historical monument in August 1986, preserving its status for future generations to study and appreciate.
Located at an elevation of 190 meters, the dolmen sits within a substantial tumulus spanning 40 meters, accessible through local paths in Plaisance.
Each of the stone elements forming this trapezoidal chamber is constructed from breccia, with entrance width of 1.7 meters expanding to 2.3 meters at the back.
