Cromlechs from Soeix
The Soeix cromlechs are now located on Rue Gino Valatelli in Oloron-Sainte-Marie in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in France . They were moved there from their place of discovery at Soeix , a few kilometers southeast of Oloran-Saint-Marie.
The Cromlechs were discovered by Claude Blanc in 1986 and excavated by Bruno Belotti as they were threatened with destruction.
They were located in an approximately 1.0 m high, 32 × 23 m large partially destroyed tumulus , which contained three complete and two halved Cromlechs of different diameters. The curb stones of the edging were only partially preserved and the interiors were paved with 30 to 40 cm large round field stones in clay screed. Such plasters are only known from the two tumuli of Oeyregave in the Landes department .
Nearby are the 16 Cromlechs by Lou Couraus and the Okabé necropolis .
