Station sépulcrale anglo-saxonne overlooked in Vauréal

Dive into a Neolithic burial site hidden in the French countryside, once tied to English rulers. What old secrets does it hold?

The Allée couverte du cimetière aux Anglais is a Neolithic dolmen, unearthed in Vauréal, France in 1867. Though its uses during that period remain uncertain, its association with the English conquest of Pontoise is also unproven, as no English cemetery was located there. This ancient site lies peacefully on a hilltop at an altitude of 85m, overlooking the Oise valley. Today, only the chamber of the original structure remains, roughly 2.4 m wide, split by two small dry stone walls around 0.5 m high.
