Dolmen
We know that this prehistoric dolmen was a burial or funeral
chamber and was built between 3500BC and 1800BC by prehistoric
man. It is situated approximately 2km from Bassac in the
middle of the woods facing south and is known as « Pierre
Levée » (‘Raised Stone’).
As is generally the case with dolmens, a chieftain or figure
of importance was probably buried at Bassac.
Did prehistoric man only leave this dolmen ? Or might the
Bassac caves date from this era too and contain evidence of
prehistoric presence ?
