"The "Creutte de Bovillon" (local expression) is 2 meters wide, 2.50 meters deep and 3 m high. His very regular quadrangular reflects an intentional work (more like that of Orrouy as burial caves of the Marne, much more elaborate). Two hundred bodies were piled about 80 cm deep, head leaning against the wall, feet toward the center, about seven or eight rows. A flat stone was arranged under each head. Funerary offerings were placed on the skeletons and in the upper part of the ossuary"
