Dolmen de Bagneux

The Dolmen de Bagneux is a Neolithic megalith in Saumur, France, dating to approximately 3000 BC. It is one of the largest and best-preserved dolmens in France, with an interior chamber exceeding 18 metres in length, 4.25 m wide at the entrance and expanding to 5.4 m at the rear. Constructed from tertiary sandstone flagstones sourced locally, the chamber consists of 4 supports on each side and 4 covering stones. Oriented to the southeast like most Anjou dolmens, it originally served as a communal burial site. Only the Dolmen of Menga in Antequera, Spain surpasses it in volume.
