The Tumulus of Bougon or Necropolis of Bougon consists of a group of five Neolithic barrows. The barrows were built at various times between 4700 – 3500 BCE. The tumulus mounds were re-discovered in 1840 and to protect the monuments from destruction and damage, the site was acquired by the department of Deux-Sèvres in 1873. The five barrows are notable for being different from one another as each one showcases a unique architectural style. During excavations, researchers uncovered over 200 skeletons and grave goods. Today, the site is open to the public and a small museum which displays the archaeological finds from the tumulus is located nearby.
