The dolmen of Déhus is a dolmen with a gallery under a tumulus of 10 m length and 4 m width, dating from 2000 BC. It was discovered in 1930. The corridor leads to six small chambers and a larger "bottle-shaped" room, typical of many megalithic monuments in the region. A drawing is engraved in the stone, inside, and seems to represent a bearded man armed with a bow and arrows. Of more recent construction (1000 B.C.), it would seem to have been the magical guardian of the tumulus. A good excuse for a nice walk.

Sur une petite route dans le nord de l'île, il y a juste une place de parking à côté.
L'accès est libre mais le dolmen est équipé d'un éclairage double permettant en particulier de mettre en relief une gravure anthropomorphe situé au plafond de la chambre principale : le "gardien du tombeau".
