This gallery grave is a communal burial place and dates from 2400 BC. It's a specific type of Megalithic tomb where the burial chamber is about the same size as the entrance passage.

The objects found at the grave were gifts for the dead (archaeologists have updated more than thousand objects: vases, shards of pottery, arrows, tools, polished axes). The fact that no bones were found here could be due to the aciditiy of the soil.

Alors, tu dois connaître également le beau "petit" manoir à proximité ?

Danke Tanja. Ja, einfach zugänglich, ohne Eintritt, und es ist spannend, da hinein zu gehen... Es liegt ganz idyllisch in der Landschaft und ist einer der Höhepunkte auf einem Wanderweg. Wenn du diese uralten Stätte magst, müsstest du mal hierher kommen, es gibt viele davon, alle frei zugänglich.

It would have taken a lot of effort to create that, the dead probably had better accommodation that the living
