Update by Alta-Falisa, March 2015.
Random slab unearthed in September 1887.
At the time of its discovery, in the fading hours of Romanticism, this large stone was immediately taken for the capstone of a dolmen. Already challenged at that time, this interpretation has been recently categorically dismissed : the stone is a random "natural" stone.
Locally known as "dolmen", we shall stick to this common name.
While there, you may feel like spending some time visiting the lovely town of Spa, which provided the word "spa" in English thanks to the popularity of its sources as early as the 18th century.
