Dolmen de la Fontaine au Son, Neolithic dolmen in Saint-Léger-de-Montbrillais, France.

The first dolmen features a seven-meter-long structure with sandstone slabs and contains a chamber measuring 4.8 meters in length by 2.2 meters in width.

The dolmens of Fontaine au Son were registered as historical monuments in 1955, representing significant megalithic structures from the Neolithic period in central France.

These megalithic structures stand as evidence of early human architectural capabilities and burial practices in the Vienne department of western France.

The site contains two dolmens, with the first structure maintaining its original form while the second one presents a partially ruined state with scattered blocks.

The main dolmen incorporates an Angevin-style design with a northeast-facing portico and a cover table split into two sections resting on three long orthostats.
