Summary

Description
Français : Le dolmen de Barzun date d'il ya 3500 à 4000 années, autour de la fin du Néolithique et le début de l'âge du bronze. Il a été découvert en 1968 dans un champ de Barzun. La structure originale était d'environ 20 x 10 mètres

Ce tertre funéraire de form ovale avait conservé une hauteur de 1,5 m en son point le plus élevé. Peu à peu apparurent deux cercles tangents réalisés en gros galets. C’est dans le second cercle que fut découvert le dolmen à proprement parler, la chambre était destinée à recevoir une ou plusieurs inhumations accompagnées de mobiliers, matériels divers (vases, haches polies, silex taillés). Malheureusement, à l’intérieure de ce dolmen, certainement violé à une date ancienne, les archéologues n’ont rien découvert, ni ossements, ni vases, ni mobilier lithique.

Le dolmen est alors démonté en 1968 et sera déplacé en 1972 à Arudy, un village situé à près de 50 km de Barzun par Georges Laplace, maître de recherches au CNRS. En 1990, Laplace qui change de domicile (d’Arudy à Coarraze) cède le dolmen à la Commune de Coarraze, qui l’installe sur la place de la Mairie.

Les conseils municipaux de Barzun, dès 1995, essaient de récupérer ce dolmen auprès de Coarraze, sans succès.

En 2010, une enteinte est conclue entre le Mairie de Coarraze, Monsieur Jean Saint-Josse, et le Maire de Barzun, Mauric Minvielle. Le dolmen est alors autorisé par délibération du conseil municipal de Coarraze à revenir sur sa terre barzunaise d’origine.

Il sera dénommé dans plusieurs écrite « le dolmen voyageur ».

Le transfert depuis Coarraze est réalisé en janvier 2011 et l’installation autour de l’église de Barzun sur un ancien cimetière, a lieu le 13 janvier 2012.
English: The dolmen of Barzun dates from 3500 to 4000 years ago, around the end of the Neolithic and start of the Bronze Age. It was discovered in 1968 in a field in Barzun. The original structure was about 20 x 10 metres

This oval burial mound had a height of 1,5 m at its highest point. As it was excavated, two tangent circles made of boulders appeared. In the second circle was discovered the dolmen itself. The room was to have received one or more burials accompanied by furniture and various valued items such as vases, polished axes, and flints. Unfortunately, the interior of the dolmen had certainly been violated at an early date, and archaeologists discovered nothing in it, neither bones nor vases or worked stone.

The dolmen was then dismantled in 1968 and moved in 1972 to Arudy (a village about 50 km from Barzun) by Georges Laplace, research fellow at the CNRS. In 1990, Laplace moved from Arudy to Coarraze and gave the dolmen to the Municipality of the commune, which installed it on the Town Hall Square.

Barzun, in 1995, tried to have the dolmen brought back to the village, but with no success.

In 2010, a understanding was reached between Jean Saint-Josse (the Mayor of Coarraze) and , Maurice Minvielle (Mayor of Barzun). Coarraze Council then authorised the return of the dolmen to its barzunaise origins.

It was described in several stories as "the travelling dolmen."

The transfer from Coarraze took place in January 2011, and the installation on an old cemetery by the church of Barzun took place on January 13, 2012.
