Scheme of a gallery grave

The Allée couverte du Brohet is located on a 269 m high peak in the Forêt de Beffou forest in Kermanac'h near Loguivy-Plougras in the far west of the Côtes-d'Armor department in Brittany in France .

The not excavated, west-east oriented gallery grave ( French Allée couverte ) on the edge of the forest is about 18.0 m long and 1.2 m wide. It consists of 16 supporting stones (ten on the north and six on the south side) and nine ceiling tiles, of which only two are still on top. It was damaged in a storm in 1987. The access was probably at the southeast end, which is indicated by a block that is perpendicular to the southern plate.
