Timeline

Origin and history

The Dolmen des Louettes, located in Fréteval, is a megalithic monument whose construction period is not specified in the available sources. This type of structure, characteristic of Neolithic, generally served as a collective burial or a place of worship for local prehistoric communities. In the Centre-Val de Loire region, the dolmens testify to the ancient human occupation and funeral practices of the time.

These monuments, often integrated into symbolic landscapes, reflect the social and spiritual organization of neolithic populations, although their specific history remains poorly known in the absence of detailed archaeological data.
