The Allée couverte of Evez-Bihan (also called Enez-Vihan) is located on the small, round tidal island Evez-Vihan in Pleumeur-Bodou in the Côtes-d'Armor department near Plouguerneau ( Finistère department ) in Brittany in France .

The gallery tomb ( French La sépulture mégalithique à entrée latérale ) has retained most of its bearing stones, but the cover plates have disappeared. It has (similar to Crec'h Quillé ) a lateral access which is rare for Breton plants and which is typical of the much older passage graves of the Nordic Beaker Culture (TBK).
