Tombe you druid
The Dolmen Tombe du Druide (also called Boos Dolmen or Dolmen of Ymare) is located south of Rouen in a field directly on the municipal boundary between Ymare and Alizay in the Seine-Maritime department in Normandy in France . In France, dolmen is the generic term for Neolithic megalithic structures of all kinds (see: French nomenclature ).
The only rudimentarily preserved simple dolmen ( French dolmen simple ), consisting of three stones, still has the shape of a stone table, whose exactly rectangular, cuboid ceiling plate rests on two supporting stones.
The dolmen is a Christianized megalithic monument . A cross (50 cm × 40 cm) is engraved in the left part of its 1.35 × 0.8 m ceiling plate. He is also called "Croix de Rouville" and is included in pilgrimages to receive various healings.
About 4.0 km away is the Grotte de Gouy (also Grotte du Cheval) in the Seine valley in the municipality of Gouy .
