Origin and history

The Dolmen du Ver, located in Tavers in the Loiret department (Centre-Val de Loire region), is a megalithic monument dating from the Neolithic period. This type of structure, characteristic of this period, generally served as a collective burial and reflects the funeral practices of local prehistoric societies. Its massive stone architecture, typical of the dolmens, illustrates the construction techniques and social organization of neolithic communities.

The Dolmen du Ver was listed as a Historic Monument by decree of 10 May 1949, which underscores its heritage importance. Although the precise details of its construction or use remain partially unknown, its classification reflects the desire to preserve this archaeological vestige. The approximate location of the site, indicated as being close to Rue de Lestiou in Tavers, allows us to envisage its integration into a larger historical landscape, marked by the human presence for millennia.
