Wéris Megaliths

The Wéris megaliths are a group of megalithic monuments found near the village of Wéris, in the province of Luxembourg, in Belgium [1]. The megalithic remains at Wéris are scattered over a region more than 5 miles long and form a group which is unique in Belgium [1]. There are many standing stones, including one beside the road just southwest of Wéris [1]. Of the many chamber tombs (dolmens) which once existed in the area, two now survive in good condition [1]. These remains generally date to around 3000 BC, a time period which corresponds to that of the Seine-Oise-Marne culture [1]. The dolmens are made from slabs of conglomerate stone [1]. A notable feature of the two dolmens is that the funerary chamber and the ante-chamber are separated by a stone slab pierced with a circular opening [1].
