Allée couverte du Petit-Chêne

The gallery grave Allée couverte du Petit-Chêne ( German  "small oak" ; also called Ville Folle) is located north of Plédran and east of Le Créac'h in the Côtes-d'Armor department in Brittany in France , about 550 m west of the Allée couverte from La Roche Camio .

It is about 15.0 m long and differs from the normal galleries in the lateral and non-axial position of its access. As with Crec'h Quillé and La Roche Camio for Breton plants, their rare side access is typical of the passage graves of the Nordic funnel cup culture (TBK). 23 bearing stones, which are largely stuck in the ground, are visible. The ceiling tiles are available. All plates are made of phtanite (black silica slate or radiolarite ).
