Summary[edit]

Description

Gennes (Maine-et-Loire)

Dolmen de la Pagerie ou Pierre Couverte de la Pagerie.

La chambre mesure 10,65 m de long et 5 m de large intérieur, précédé d'un portique.

Une dalle de fond, deux supports latéraux sud, un seul côté nord. Deux dalles de couverture. La dalle antérieure repose à terre du côté nord. De ce côté, la dalle mesure 1,20 m d'épaisseur.

Ce dolmen à portique rétréci est fait en grès à vermiculures.

D'après un plan de M. Léon de Lorière, au Musée St Jean d'Angers, un lusus naturae* simule une tête de bovidé sur laquelle un oeil aurait été rapporté.

Fouillé en 1897, par MM d'Achon et de Farcy, un squelette avait été découvert, placé à 6 m du fond, les pieds vers l'entrée.

Plus récemment, ce sont des débris de brique romaine et des éclats de silex blond qui ont été trouvés par Michel Gruet (1912-1998).

Il y a un siècle se voyaient encore à l'arrière les restes du tumulus, totalement disparus depuis, à cause des travaux agricoles.

  • lusus naturae : "caprice de la nature".
