Origin and history
The plot containing tumuli and two menhirs in Averdon is an archaeological site classified as Historic Monument since 1975. Located in the commune of Averdon (Loir-et-Cher), this site dates back to Neolithic, a period marked by the emergence of megalithic structures related to funeral and ritual practices. The tumuli, terter of earth or stones covering burials, and the menhirs, raised stones, illustrate the traditions of the prehistoric societies of the region.
The Order-in-Council of 4 November 1975 specifically protects this parcel (Cadastre E 137), emphasizing its heritage importance. The site is now managed by an association, although its accessibility to the public (visits, events) is not specified in the available sources. The location, noted as "passible" (level 5/10), suggests an approximation in GPS coordinates, without altering the historic value of the site.
The data come mainly from the Merimée database and Monumentum, supplemented by administrative information such as the Insee code of the municipality (41009) and its attachment to the Loir-et-Cher department. No additional information on excavations, archaeological discoveries or contemporary uses is mentioned in the sources consulted.
