Pierres so-called "Le Four Gallois et le Reservoir" (Case E 606) : classification by decree of 3 March 1959
Origin and history
The stones of the Four Gaulois and the Reservoir are two megaliths located in the commune of Marcilly-le-Hayer, in the Aube department, in the Grand Est region. These structures, whose exact origin and precise function remain unknown, are representative of the megalithic remains present in this part of France. Their presence suggests an ancient human occupation, although details of their use or construction are not explicitly documented in available sources.
Classified as historical monuments by order of 3 March 1959, these megaliths enjoy heritage protection. Their precise location, near Chavaudon, is mentioned in official databases such as Mérimée. They are part of a broader set of megalithic sites identified in the Aube department, reflecting the archaeological importance of this area.
No additional information on their history or specific use is provided by the sources consulted.
