Chevresse Dolmen
The so-called Dolmen of Chevresse (also called Fort Chevresse) is a pseudodolmen or a stack of granite blocks at 595 m height in the forest region of Breuil-Chenue in the commune of Saint-Brisson in the Nièvre department in France , which otherwise only contains menhirs (Menhir de la Pierrefiche, Menhir de la Pierre Pointe, Menhir du Bourras, Menhir Le Chaillou-Magnien).
The monument has been classified as a dolmen , although it lacks essential features. The lower half consists of solid stones over five meters long on both long sides, which are broken in half. They are likely of natural origin. The capstone could have been added as well as other stones that form a kind of chamber with access, but it is also probably a weathering product.
A basin was cut into the top of the stone, further cutting marks can be found at the opposite end and in the so-called chamber.
Pseudodolmen are known from different regions ( Cova d'en Genís , Dolmen von Busnela , Dolmen von Solwaster , Pierre au Rey , La Table des Géants in Reinhardsmunster and L'autel des Druides in Pfaffenheim (both in the department of Haut-Rhin ) and Sparossino in Liguria ).
