Allée couverte from Conflans
The Allée couverte by Conflans was discovered in 1872 by a farmer in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine in Île-de-France while plowing. However, there are also other traditions of discovery. The cover plates were removed and the gallery tomb examined and dismantled and rebuilt at the museum in Saint-Germain-en-Laye in the Yvelines department in France. A brick staircase to the side was installed as a new entrance.
The approximately 11 m long and 2 m wide Neolithic gallery grave consists of an antechamber and a main chamber, which are separated by the coaxial, original entrance. Two limestone slabs , of which the larger one has a round soul hole , the locking stone of which has been preserved, form the access side in the east. At the end of the main chamber, a side half-stone separates a head niche, above which the only remaining capstone rests.
In the outdoor area of the Musée D'Archeologie National, at Place Charles De Gaulle, 78100, the offset gallery grave Allée couverte du Trou aux Anglais (Hole of the English) is located close by .
