TheCaptain visited on 27th Dec 2012 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 This wonderful holed stone is today found nicely presented (since 1976) just outside the little church of the village of Aizier, right on the banks of the River Seine not too far upstream from the Tancarville Bridge, a few miles inland from Le Havre.
The stone is the remains of the portholed entry stone from a now destroyed allée couverte, which was destroyed during the making of the road to Bourneville sometime in the 19th century. The stone is about 1.7 metres tall and wide, with thickness 22 cm, but the important dimension is that of the circular hole, which is of diameter 47 cm, and yes, I did manage to crawl through it!
This type of allée couverte was fairly common in this region, and dates to the final neolithic, -3500 BC to -2800 BC.
