Here there is an Allée couverte , four large menhirs and a small stone circle on the oval stone mound of 46 m × 26 m. The cairn is about two meters high and consists of small stones. The close combination of these three types of monument is unique. The menhirs are four huge blocks of quartz . Three blocks are standing, one is lying. Close by is an oval circle made of vertically placed slate slabs . Only a few stone circles in Brittany from the Neolithic or the Bronze Age can be used as comparison objects. The Dolmen of drywall probably had four rectangular side chambers. Many of the interior curbs and all of the ceiling tiles are missing.
If the legend is to be believed, a calf was sacrificed every year at Château Bû (also known as Château de la Vache).
The château is part of the Parc des Megalithes de Saint-Just , which also houses the Croix Saint-Pierre megalithic complexes , the Allée couverte Grotte des Fées de Tréal , Demoiselles Piquées , Four Sarrazin , Croix Madame (a complex of lying stones) and the Alignements du Moulin are located.
tribunal
The so-called “Tribunal”, a U-shaped stone setting made up of nine menhirs (three standing, six lying) with a single standing block, about 45 m away, in the middle in front of it. It was this stone that gave the semicycle its name. He looks like a defendant; who stands before his judges.
