The Wéris megaliths are a group of megalithic monuments found near the village of Wéris, in the province of Luxembourg, in Belgium.
The megalithic remains at Wéris are scattered over a region more than 5miles long and form a group which is unique in Belgium.[1] There are many standing stones (menhirs), including one beside the road just southwest of Wéris.[2] Of the many chamber tombs (dolmens) which once existed in the area, two now survive in good condition. These remains generally date to around 3000 BC,[1] a time period which corresponds to that of the Seine-Oise-Marne culture.[3]
The dolmens are made from slabs of conglomerate stone.[4] A notable feature of the two dolmens is that the funerary chamber and the ante-chamber are separated by a stone slab pierced with a circular opening.[4]
A museum (La Maison des Mégalithes de Wéris) for the monuments can be found in the centre of the village of Wéris.[5]
