The Dolmen of Marcilly (also called Dolmen de Lucé) is located west of the Marcilly farm, northwest of Neuillé-Pont-Pierre, southeast of Tours in the Touraine in the Indre-et-Loire department in France . In France, dolmen is the generic term for Neolithic megalithic structures of all kinds (see: French nomenclature ).

The simple dolmen (not to be confused with the dolmen of Marcilly-le-Hayer in the Aube department ) was located on a small hill. It has a chamber about 3.0 × 2.5 m open to the east. It is not known whether there was a structured access page. All three bearing stones are slightly shifted, especially the two on the side. The roughly round, only capstone sits slightly at an angle on the three supporting stones.
