Dolmen (Box AP 10): Order of 9 November 1984

Origin and history

The Dolmen de Laramière is a megalithic monument dated Neolithic, a period marked by the emergence of agriculture and livestock in Europe. This type of structure, usually associated with collective burials, illustrates funeral practices and beliefs of local prehistoric communities. Dolmens were often places of remembrance and gathering for the people of the time, playing a central role in their social and spiritual organization.

Filed as a Historical Monument by order of 9 November 1984, this dolmen is part of the protected heritage of the municipality of Laramière, located in the Lot department. The precise location of the monument is reported as approximate, with an accuracy considered fair (note 5/10). This classification reflects its archaeological importance and its value for understanding neolithic societies in southwestern France.

No additional information on its specific use or detailed history is available from the sources consulted.
