The megalithic remains at Wéris are scattered over a region more than 5 miles (8 km) long and form a group which is unique in Belgium.

[1] There are many standing stones (menhirs), including one beside the road just southwest of Wéris.

[2] Of the many chamber tombs (dolmens) which once existed in the area, two now survive in good condition.

These remains generally date to around 3000 BC,[1] a time period which corresponds to that of the Seine-Oise-Marne culture.

[4] A notable feature of the two dolmens is that the funerary chamber and the ante-chamber are separated by a stone slab pierced with a circular opening.
