On the map, there is the localisation of 17 dolmens and Laroque and 1 menhir. Another menhir exists but unfoundable.
The major part of the monuments is easy to find.
Only one dolmen has conserved its capstone (dolmen 17) but several are very well conserved.
The menhir is only 1.10 metre high.
Near this dolmen necropolis,there is the Signal de la Roque dolmens necropolis but here the prehistoric graves are less well conserved.
