Origin and history

The dolmen de la Pierre coupled is a megalithic monument located in the commune of La Ferté-Frênel, Normandy. This type of structure, characteristic of Neolithic, reflects the funeral and cultural practices of the prehistoric populations of the region. Although its precise dating is not mentioned in the available sources, its architecture makes it a remarkable vestige of local heritage.

Dolmens, like that of the coupled Stone, generally served as collective burials. They reflect the social organization and beliefs of the communities that built them. In Normandy, these monuments are often associated with landscapes of moors or forests, integrated into hiking or archaeological discovery circuits.

Their presence illustrates the former occupation of the territory and its importance in prehistoric exchange networks.
