That one is known in French as the Pierre-Lev\u00e9e des Sept Chemins: raised stone of the seven roads.  There's quite a lot about it in French at <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pierre-Lev%C3%A9e_des_Sept_Chemins\">https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pierre-Lev%C3%A9e_des_Sept_Chemins<\/a> but all the dates I see there are about its discovery in the 19th Century and excavations in the late 20th Century.  So I think we just go with the idea that dolmens like this tend to date from 4000\u20133000 BCE.  I remember pausing to take some poor 'photos and then moving on but wondering how much the locality had changed since it had been constructed and who had done the work to get it up and why.
