Iron Age burial site from the 1st century CE on top of Puy de la Besse (777m) near Lac de Vassivière, Limousin. The site involves a cairn on top of a burial mound. The site offers a superb sight over the surrounding area with a view of the Puy de Sancy (1,886m), Auvergne, depending on weather circumstances.
The Tumulus de Puy de la Besse is on walking distance from two other megalithic sites: the Tumulus de Quenouille and the Roches Brunagère.
