Cists in Corse
Badly broken up. Dated to 4200 BCE.
"Several cists 25 metres south of the dolmen. During the third quarter of the 5th millennium, on the set of Agriates, small circular monuments containing large stone chests are spatially associated with large quadrangular building, which could correspond to ceremonial platforms low. There is a small line of 10 stones that leads to cysts"
