Allée couverte Kerlescan 1
The Allée couverte Kerlescan 1 (also called Kerlescan Nord ) is located near Carnac in the Morbihan department in Brittany in France . The remains of the of megaliths existing and drywall repaired almost classical gallery grave lie north of the alignments of Kerlescan in a forest.
The tumulus, which is around 60 meters long, 8.0 meters wide and two to three meters high, is almost completely surrounded by stone. The end of the hill is rectangular at the western end and apsidal in the east. Inside the hill is an approximately 13-meter-long, more than two-meter-wide chamber, formerly divided in the middle, largely open at the top with a passage in the shape of a soul hole . The left chamber has one of the extremely rare side entrances on the south side, also designed as a soul hole. Only one of the capstones is preserved at the western end.
