Allée couverte Mané-Roullarde
The Allée couverte Mané-Roullarde (also called Mané-Roullard or Er-Roh ) is located on a hill above the port of La Trinité-sur-Mer in the Morbihan department in Brittany in France . The complex was built in the final phase of the Neolithic .
It is an 18 meter long, only 1.2 m wide gallery grave with four in situ spaced cap stones. Some of the bearing stones are engraved in the Les Pierres Plates style, but they are difficult to spot among the lichens and mosses. Traces of the oval burial mound can still be seen.
During a series of excavations between 1866 and 1900, black ceramic vases decorated with curved lines were found.
Several basement basements from the Iron Age , the description of which is reminiscent of Cornish Fogous , are said to be in the undergrowth.
The four dolmens Quéric , Kermarquer , Mané Rohr (Kerdro-Vihan) and Mané-Kervilor are located at a distance of 0.8 to 1.0 km .
