Perforated stone from Traves
The perforated stone of Traves ( French: Pierre percée de Traves ), classified as a historical monument since 1911, is a monolith with a soul hole . He stands in a field at Traves , west of Vesoul , in Haute-Saône in the region of Franche-Comté in France .
The slightly damaged stone is about 1.7 m wide and 1.4 m high and has an average thickness of 35 cm. The slab originally used as an entrance is the remainder of a gallery grave of the Schwörstadt type , as it is more common in the region, which also extends over Switzerland and Baden-Württemberg and dates from the Neolithic Age .
The Pierre percée d'Aroz is only 1.3 kilometers away.

Individual evidence
- ↑ The French Designation, which was also chosen as a lemma, does not differentiate between perforated stones and stones with soul holes. It should actually be called a soul hole stone to make it clear that it is not a self-sufficient object, but the rest of a formerly more complex structure
