Dolmen de la Pierre Là

The Dolmen de la Pierre Là (also La Pierre-à-la-Marte ) is located in the hamlet of La Pierre Là, west of Saint-Plantaire near La Châtre in the Indre department in France . In France, dolmen is the generic term for Neolithic megalithic structures of all kinds (see: French nomenclature ).

The dolmen has a rectangular chamber of about 2.3 × 1.75 m at a height of 1.2 m under the straight oval capstone of about 4.5 × 2.2 m and 0.5 m thick. Under the capstone lie or stand four stones, two of them supporting. A little outside there is another stone in the ground. The capstone has two large, naturally formed indentations on one side.
