Dolmen of the Pascarets
The Dolmen des Pascarets (also called Dolmen de La Borda) is a Neolithic megalithic complex . It is located in Eyne ( Catalan Eina ) just before Cerdanya in the west of the Pyrénées-Orientales department in France , near the border with Spain . In France, dolmen is the generic term for Neolithic megalithic structures of all kinds (see: French nomenclature ).
The Dolmen des Pascarets is a simple dolmen ( French dolmen simple ), consisting of three large (preserved) vertical and one horizontal plate that form a semi-recessed Neolithic chamber. It is difficult to date, but given its structure, it is likely a megalithic construction from the end of the 2nd millennium BC. Chr.
The dolmen is surrounded by menhirs and other megalithic structures. One of them is the "Dolmen Lou Pou", which forms a recessed, roughly square chamber in a field of confused large stones, the capstone of which is missing. Three sides consist of large blocks, one of which is particularly high; the fourth was supplemented with smaller stones.
Pla del Bosc is an acute, phallic menhir of granite nearby.
