Megalithic tomb Lechinkay, Russia. The dolmen is located in the Chegem River Basin near the river. The megalithic monument is a stone box with four walls, apparently this was a two-chamber dolmen (tomb).
Nearby the dolmen are many small stones and stone wrecks, is likely that these are floors and other parts of this megalithic monument. It is difficult to determine the age of the monument - The findings may apply to the IV-III millennium BC and the early Middle Ages.
This is one of the few preserved and discovered dolmens in this region. The monument has a great historical and cultural value!
