In this context, we recently used 3D-modelling to reexamine a carved stone slab datable to the Early Bronze Age c. We show that the surface of the slab had been shaped in three dimensions to represent the relief of the surrounding landscape in which it was found, while several engraved motifs on it evoke contemporary structures known archaeologically.
The carving and subsequent burying of the slab can be linked to the postulated rise and fall of hierarchical societies and raises many wider questions about socioeconomic structures in temperate Europe at that time.

Much later, Briard mentioned it once in a paper on cup-marked stones and suggested, through comparison with Alpine rock art e.
And if so, what does it represent? The mound, which still survives, is located on the western edge of a hill, overlooking the Odet river valley Fig. According to du Chatellier a , the barrow measured 40 m in diameter and 2 m high, making it one of the larger barrows of the region. However, aerial photographs show a circular soil mark about 30 m in diameter, suggesting that its size might have been exaggerated or enlarged by ploughing Fig.
