Allée couverte by Coat Luzuen
The Allée couverte by Coat Luzuen (also called Allée couverte by Roussica ) is located in a field northwest of Pont-Aven , near Concarneau in the Finistère department in Brittany in France .
The north-west-south-east oriented gallery grave consists of the V-shaped chamber resting on eight bearing stones, about 6.6 m on the outside and about 5.65 m on the inside. The inside width varies from 1.1 m at the end of the aisle, to 2.0 m and narrows again to 1.9 m. The interior height is 1.1 to 1.53 m. The approximately 0.5 m thick capstone is slightly inclined.
The megalithic complex consists of two parts, which indicates separate monuments.
From the smaller dolmen four bearing stones and a broken capstone measuring about 3.7 × 2.6 m and a thickness of 25 to 70 cm have been preserved. The monument has a height of 1.6 m. The chamber forms a rectangle of 3.8 × 1.4 m and has an internal height of about 80 cm. Both of the Coat Luzuen dolmens were classified as Monument historique in 1951 .
Nearby are the Ty Corriganet by Coat Menez Guen , the Allée couverte by Moulin René and the Dolmen of Cosquer (Melgven) .
