The Dolmen of the River Nechepsuho, also known as the White Rocks Dolmen, is an ancient megalithic structure located in the Krasnodar Krai region of Southern Russia. Dolmens are prehistoric stone structures that are typically composed of large upright stones that support a horizontal capstone, creating a chamber or tomb-like structure.

The Dolmen of the River Nechepsuho is one of the largest dolmens in the region, measuring around 5 meters long, 4 meters wide, and 4 meters tall. It is estimated to date back to the Early Bronze Age, around 4,000 to 5,000 years ago.

The dolmen is situated on the banks of the Nechepsuho River, near the White Rocks natural landmark, which is known for its white limestone cliffs. The dolmen was constructed using some of these limestone blocks, which were carefully placed to create a rectangular chamber with a corridor leading to the outside.

The Dolmen of the River Nechepsuho is considered to be a significant archaeological and historical site, as it provides valuable insights into the culture and technology of the early inhabitants of the region.
