"It has this name because it is located next to the ruins of an old Pigeonnier. The dolmen slabs are bent or fallen, it is very run down. It is built of sandstone Permian, local rock red, typical of Salagou basin. It is a grave of the late Neolithic. This dolmen was excavated in 2009 by archaeologist INRAP (Sabine Puech)."
