Origin and history

The Dolmen d'Agranel de Limogne-en-Quercy is a megalithic monument located in the municipality of Limogne-en-Quercy, in the Occitanie region. This type of structure, characteristic of Neolithic, was generally used as a collective burial. Dolmens are emblematic architectural remains of this period, although their precise dating is not mentioned in the available sources.

In Quercy, as in other parts of France, dolmens were integrated into the landscape and played an important role in funeral practices and beliefs of prehistoric communities. These monuments, often made up of large stone slabs, reflect the construction techniques and social organization of the people of the time. Their presence attests to an ancient human occupation and a culture rich in symbols and rituals.
