Dolmen of Sénévaut
The Dolmen of Sénévaut (also called Dolmen de Senneveau or Sénévault) is located in Senneveau, south of the D 20 and north of Ciron , near Chateauroux 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 was discovered in the 19th century by Abbe Voisin, the parish priest of Douadic. The small, irregular oval capstone made of sandstone has a diameter of around 2.8 × 2.45 m and is clearly visible, while the three bearing stones are almost buried. The description of historical monuments from 1889 incorrectly mentions a dolmen and a cromlech , since the circle surrounding the dolmen is of natural origin. In the area lie the remains of eight stones, which are probably stones of the Cromlech.
