Description

Le dolmen du moulin Piau ou de la Motte ou de la Pierre Couverte à Chemellier (Maine-et-Loire)

Situé entre le Petit Village et la Motte.

Le dolmen de la Pierre Couverte est formé de 4 blocs, deux de chaque côté soutiennent les deux pierres du dessus. Le volume des pierres est à peu près équivalent.

Comme les autres mégalithes de cette époque, il devait être recouvert d'un tertre de terre et de pierres.

Ce dolmen a sans doute été le caveau d'un personnage important car onze haches en pierre polie, dont une en silex ont été découvertes dedans.

A proximité, deux cimetières ont également été mis à jours. L'un été rempli d'ossements brûlés, l'autre a révélé des fosses taillées dans le tuffeau, ayant la forme de corps.

Un peu plus loin un deuxième dolmen celui de la Pauvrière est à moitié effondré.


The dolmen Moulin-Piau or Motte or Pierre Couveerte , Chemellier (Maine-et-Loire)

Located between the Small-Village and Motte.

The dolmen of Pierre Covered consists of 4 blocks, two on each side support the two stones above. The volume of stones is roughly equivalent.

Like other megaliths that time, it should be covered with a mound of earth and stones.

This dolmen was probably the tomb of an important person for eleven polished stone axes, including a flint were discovered inside.

Nearby, two cemeteries have also been updated to. One was filled with burnt bones, the other revealed pits carved in limestone, having the body shape. A little later a second one of the dolmen Pauvrière is half collapsed.
