Origin and history

The dolmen under the tumulus of Villemaury is a megalithic vestige dated Neolithic, a period marked by the emergence of agriculture and livestock in Europe. This type of funerary monument, consisting of large stones, served as a collective burial and bears witness to the ritual and social practices of local prehistoric communities. Dolmens were often covered with earth or stones, forming a tumulus, and could shelter several dead over generations.

This dolmen, located in the commune of Lutz-en-Dunois (Eure-et-Loir, region Centre-Val de Loire), was registered as a Historical Monument by order of 22 September 1983. This official protection underscores its archaeological and heritage importance. The available data indicate an approximate location, with an accuracy considered fair (note 5/10), which may reflect the exact location challenges for some old sites.
