Trou aux Anglais gallery grave

About

The covered driveway of the Trou aux Anglais is a covered driveway, now set in the moat of the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye, originally built on the town of Aubergenville in the department of Yvelines. Two slabs of the monument are decorated with complex engravings, including a representation of the "mother goddess" and a human figure.

History: The keeper of the chateau de la Garenne, intrigued by three lined slabs that passed the ground in a clearing, began to search the site during the winter of 1880-1881. Having read the search report on the covered alley of the English cemetery in Vaureal, he sent his own search report to the Anthropology magazine. Several archaeologists were interested in the monument, including drawings depicting engravings near the entrance, including Perrier du Carne, Émile Cartailhac, Alexandre de Mortillet and Salomon Reinach. To protect the monument threatened with destruction, Mr. Bertin, owner of the Château de la Garenne, offered it to the National Antiquities Museum in 1892. The building was dismantled and rebuilt in the moat of the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye but this reconstitution is not in conformity...
