Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in Province of Luxembourg, Belgium.
Generally presented as dolmen, but sometimes contested.
Lots of local writings about it. It was first called Morceau d'étoile (fragment of star) by kids who used to play in the wood.
Access by car : signposted at (49.5686, 5.5905) along the N.885 (see photo underneath). You can drive into the edge of the wood. From there, the last 50 m, signposted twice, on foot.
Information board on site (see version in French language underneath).
Worth noticing (photo 137493) : a possible rock-cut basin in the capstone.
