Dolmen dit Des Pierres Jumelles (Case F 135): entry by order of 12 February 1984
Origin and history
The Dolmen des Pierres Jumelles is a former covered driveway located at the town of Saint-Gemmes-le-Robert, in the department of Mayenne. This megalithic monument, now in ruins, has lost its covering slab, making it partially degraded. Despite its state, it bears witness to the neolithic funeral architecture typical of the region, although its precise dating is not mentioned in the available sources.
The building has been recognized for its heritage importance and has been listed as a historic monument since 12 February 1984. This official protection underscores its archaeological and cultural value, although the details of its original use or precise historical context remain limited. Dolmen is part of a broader set of megalithic sites in Mayenne, reflecting an ancient human occupation in this geographical area.
The location of the dolmen, indicated as approximate with an accuracy deemed "passable" (level 5/10), is located near the so-called Richebourg, at 5182 Richebourg, 53600 Sainte-Gemmes-le-Robert. This site is referenced in the Mérimée base under the code Insee 53218, attached to the commune of Sainte-Gemmes-le-Robert, itself integrated into the arrondissement of Laval and the Pays de la Loire region. No information is available about its current accessibility or any services offered on site.
