Allée couverte by Kergoustance
The Allée couverte of Kergoustance (also Ti Ar C'horriquet or La Maison des Lutins - German House of Goblins - called) is located about 600 m west of Moëlan-sur-Mer in the Finistère department in Brittany in France .
The gallery grave , around 17 m long and 3.5 m wide, half of which is closely surrounded by trees, consists of 16 bearing stones, two of which are missing. It has seven capstones on top and is very flat with a height of no more than 1.4 m. Coins, terra sigillata and an urn discovered during the excavation in 1882 mark the Roman presence and the late re- use of this megalithic complex .
Nearby is the Allée couverte from Kermeur Bihan .
