Pseudodolmen by Gomery
The pseudodolmen of Gomery is a pseudodolmen north of Virton, near Arlon in the province of Luxembourg in the extreme south of Belgium .
The pseudodolmen is a natural, accidentally formed structure made of stone blocks , reminiscent of a dolmen . There are many local writings about the place, also shown as a dolmen. It was originally called Morceau d'étoile (German star fragment).
It consists of a large block of quartzite - sandstone that rests on three stones. The shape does not correspond to any of the megalithic sites in the region. Nonetheless, a flint knife , a fragment of a polished ax, and arrowheads have been found in nearby excavations , all of which may be of Iron Age origin. The excavation at the University of Liège could not clarify whether it is an object made by human hands or a natural phenomenon. Noteworthy is a possible basin carved out of the rock in the capstone.
Nearby are the Saint-Mard grooves .
