Le Trepied Dolmen

Guernsey and Alderney / Torteval / Catorioc Street
 neolithic age, megalith
This prehistoric grave was built during the Neolithic (4000 to 2500BC). Room(chamber) of the grave measures 5,5 m of length on 2 m in its most width with three stones of cover among which one was in its original position in the 1870s after it fell. The dolmen will repeatedly be mentioned in the 17th in witch's trials. Known as a meeting place for the witches and as the venue for the sabbats, the site will be, until the last century, strictly avoided every end of the week by the superstitious population.
