[F] Ce monument mégalithique est composé d'une grande pierre de 3 à 4 mètres de long sur 2 à 3 mètres de large. Elle est posée sur sept autres pierres. Côté sud une ouverture permet d'entrer à l'intérieur du dolmen, d'où vient le nom de Maupertuis. En effet, "pertuis" signifie en vieux français "le trou" et "mau" signifie mal fréquenté.
