Les archives mentionnent l'existence d'un dolmen en ruines dans le vallon de Chantemerle, à l'ouest du bourg, en limite de département. Les récits des historiens mentionnent que les habitants (adultes et enfants) venaient pour divers soins sur une pierre du dolmen. Cette pratique étant encore récemment d'actualité, la dite pierre a été retrouvée, mais au sud du village, en bord de route. (Il y avait donc deux monuments).
Il s'agit d'un authentique petit menhir de grès poli, une pierre de soins au sommet en cuvette avec une sorte de goulotte d'écoulement. Elle mesure 60cm hors sol sur environ 60 / 70cm de côté.
Ce n'est pas un reste de dolmen. Ce dernier a sans doute été victime des travaux multiples des carriers dans le vallon précité.
