In order to discribe the monument, we hand over to Jean Guilaine, professor at the COLLEGE DE France.« This vast and rectangular monument, has a development of 24m, is built with bloks of different rocks (limestone, grey sandstone, red sandstone), includes a long corridor where dry stones and pillar are alternated, an antechamber which had preserved its covering table and at last a terminal « cella » which is more eroded. Two doors made by carved joined flag stones forming a porthole outlined the interior space. This dolmen was built at the end of the neolithic period (about – 3000) and was still used at the copper period in «campaniforme» and in the first days of the bronze-period. » The grave of Fades is the biggest dolmen in the south of France.
