Pierre Trouée by Aizier
The Pierre Trouée von Aizier is a perforated stone ( French Pierre-Percée ) that has been in sight of the Tancarville Bridge on the banks of the Seine near the church of Aizier in the Eure department in Normandy in France since 1976 .
The stone is the only remnant of the "Allée couverte d'Aizier" destroyed when the road to Bourne was built in the 19th century, and of which it was the access stone. The stone is about 1.7 m high and wide and about 22 cm thick. The soul hole has a diameter of 47 cm.
This type of Allée couverte dates from the Neolithic , around 3500 to 2800 BC. And is quite common in the region. A very similar remnant is the Heidenstein from Niederschwörstadt in Baden-Württemberg .
