The department of the Gard counts about 300 dolmens and at least 150 menhirs.
About 40 statues - menhirs was also discovered in plains in association with neolithic environments, with funeral hypogeums and sepulchral caves.
On the other hand, there are no megaliths everywhere.
They are unevenly distributed :
- Blandas Causse (limestone plateau) over the city of Vigan counts more than an about fifty megaliths and notably several cromlechs.
All these megaliths are in limestone or in dolomite.
About fifteen megaliths is visible on the nearby Campestre's plateau.
- The schistose and granitic massifs of Cevennes are a second zone important for the megalithism in this department.
Numerous granite menhirs and schist are known about the North of the city of Vigan and until the massif of Aigoual (on 1500 m heigh), the almost non-existent dolmens.
On the other hand, going away near the city of Alès and on all the crests of mountains, necropolis of small dolmens and megalithic cists built with schist slabs are known.
The most known sites are the dolmenic necropolis of Grande Pallière (dolmens in stoneware), Ronc Traoucat, Peyraube, Montcalm, Malausette-Robinson...
These necropolis count sometimes until 15-20 dolmens and megalithic cists.
There are at least about hundred megalithic sites listed.
Here, on the contrary, menhirs are very rare.
- The third important zone for the megalithism of the department of Gard is the "Garrigues" which adjoins the foothills of Cevennes and the department of Ardèche. Dolmens are there with a more important size as well as menhirs.
The highest menhir of the department, the menhir of la Lèque near Lussan, measure 5.60 metres tall.
- The last megalithic zone of the department is the "Causse Noir" (Black Limestone plateau) in border with Aveyron and Lozère. About twenty megaliths, in limestone and dolomite, sometimes impressive is visible.
The wine plain everything around Nimes counts rare megaliths.
The Camargue close to the Mediterranean counts any of it.
