[FR] À quelque trois mètres de profondeur, au milieu d'ossements humains et d'outils, il marque l'emplacement d'une sépulture collective de l'époque néolithique datant d'environ 3 500 années avant notre ère. Transporté dans le parc de la mairie, il est replacé sur un socle constitué de fragments de sépultures. Depuis 1948, l'immémorial monument sacré est incrusté d'un anachronique médaillon du général Lerclerc.
